Ok, I think that's what I see underneath each spring in the picture from the website. Just to be clear so I don't sound like a noob when I go back to the shop, these are supposed to be on the bottom of the new springs? And if so, you're saying I still have my OEM isolators based on what you see in the pic?Should have been included
Yes on all questions. Should have new RK seats on all 4 springs. As @Roky pointed out you still have OEM on fronts. I would check rear as well. Not positive but believe rears are side specific for RK.Ok, I think that's what I see underneath each spring in the picture from the website.

Can you post pic of your rear spring perches ? Want to make sure you have the right ones on and also the rears are side specific. The taller one goes on the passenger side.@hoag4147 @Roky @Rodeoflyer thanks a lot for the great advice. Now I have to go to the shop and show my ass. Well, I won't show my ass but they need to make this right for me. Of course now, they'd have to order RK pad for me because I'm sure the ones from the kit are long gone.
Let me try to snap a shot. They don't seem as easy to take a pic of as the fronts.Can you post pic of your rear spring perches ? Want to make sure you have the right ones on and also the rears are side specific. The taller one goes on the passenger side.
It wasn't too difficult to take a pic of the rear passenger side, once I got underneath, I had a clear view of the perch. But the driver side was blocked by a huge bracket. I had to contort myself a bit to get under the wheel well to get a pic from an angle with a view unobstructed by the huge bracket. Is that normal? Here are the pics:Can you post pic of your rear spring perches ? Want to make sure you have the right ones on and also the rears are side specific. The taller one goes on the passenger side.
That’s what I was afraid of, they didn’t put on the RK perches on the front or the rear . Either they didn’t come with the kit, or they just didn’t use them . The RK springs are not side specific like your oem was so you need that taller isolator on passenger side to help with the side to side lean.It wasn't too difficult to take a pic of the rear passenger side, once I got underneath, I had a clear view of the perch.

@Roky thanks again. I remember when I called the shop to get a early status on their progress and I remember the manager telling me that they had laid all the parts out to make sure everything was accounted for. So if the perches were missing, they had an opportunity to tell me. My guess is they were there, they didn't read the instructions or just didn't care and didn't install them. Oh well, looks like they'll just have to make it right. I plan to visit the shop tomorrow.That’s what I was afraid of, they didn’t put on the RK perches on the front or the rear .

Your welcome...... it’s a pain to deal with but they should at the very least install for free, even if they won’t purchase them, if they deny they were there. Just remember the fronts are the same , but the rears are side specific, taller one on passenger side. The rear part number is RK06840 and the front part number is RK06705K.@Roky thanks again.

Look at pics I included above. That is what they should look like under your springs. They definitely didn’t install.@Roky thanks again.

@Roky I think I'm safe in that regard. I had them install fox 2.0 shocks for 2-3 inch lifts.@SouthernJL , what shocks are you running with your lift ? I noticed that you’re not running any bump stop extension either. It’s not necessarily a bad thing depending on how you’re using your rig. This is not on the shop, the kit doesn’t come with bumpstop.
