The "ISOLATORS" are designed to "CENTER" and "SECURE" the coils in there assigned positions--

If you "SHAVE" off the cone that does the major alignment of the isolators--the coils are going to change there upper positions--

When you "FLEX" the axles the mounted coils are "TESTED" in their position and I've had coils "MIS-ALIGN" without any isolator changes--

I wouldn't recommend altering the isolators AT ALL--either get taller rear coils, or cut 1" off the front coils--

Good luck

I'm still going to be using the stock isolators WITH the coil locators. I'm only stacking these on top of those to add 0.5" of height to the rear to fix the RC kit rake.

So, in effect it'll be exactly the same as using a spacer lift...I'm just making mine a tad taller.

Ok, so this is what I got......

Part number
68273114AB

E6998031-71B4-48D5-A210-BBCC399824B1.webp
2673627F-BCA5-421B-853C-4F461F38C3C8.webp
I got an update from the online dealer that I ordered from that the correct part # is 68293049AA

I HOPE what they send me is correct. Sigh...

Well, I hope that'll work--

The trouble with it is----the coils on these jeeps "JOCKEY AROUND all the time and the more "CONCRETE" "STURDY" the anchors are the less noise/"MIS-ALIGNMENT" is possible--

Just be careful, if you change SHOCKS, you have to be sure they don't have "TOO MUCH EXTEND TRAVEL", BECAUSE THATS WHAT CAUSES A LOT OF COIL MIS-ALIGNMENT-

By MIS-ALIGNMENT, i MEAN A SHIFT IN THE UPPER COIL ANCHOR POINT--

Good luck

That number is for the rear lower. Thier documentation is messed up. It says that is the rear upper but it is not. The ones csward posted are correct rear uppers that they left off of the document. Took some investigatory work

Yes, that dealership screwed up. They sent me 68273114AB upon request and even though they were reluctant to do so it ended up being the rear uppers that I wanted.

I modified the new set of rear uppers to get rid of the coil locators molded into them, and then stacked them onto the existing rear uppers. Ended up exactly like I wanted with the natural stance of the Jeep back again and a real 2.5" lift front and rear now.
