Front Coil Spring Isolator Question!!

[A-Aron]

So in my haste when installing my new bilsteins and shock mounts. I thought had the rubber isolator already installed in there (did not!), The ride isn't terrible and they don't make noise or anything like that. But I want them in there for sure, but I have thrown away my old shocks and springs, so I can't reuse those.

It turns out that nobody sells them separately, but I have found the Energy Suspension universal Poly Isolators which I would like to buy. But I don't have any sizes off of the old isolators. Is there anyone out there that has an old isolator that can measure the ID and OD of their isolator, or better yet have a part # for the energy suspension set that you have used.

I have seen many people ask about these, and there hasn't been a definitive answer, so I figure this could help out the community. I would be happy to post the part numbers so people can reference them if need be. Thanks!!

carquest lists a mount kit that includes the isolator.

part #243152

I believe I have my old ones in my truck. I will look/measure tomorrow. If I can find them and you want them, yours for the price of shipping. They are beat to hell though, be warned.

That sounds perfect! I would still probably want to order the new set from energy suspension, but if you are willing to measure them that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Anyone else happen to have some laying around?

2-3/4 inside
4-5/8,4-3/4 outside

You guys are awesome! Thanks for your help! I'll let you know how they fit!

 

[A-Aron]

Success!!! Thank you very much for posting the sizes!! I ordered Energy Suspension Part# 9.6104 and as you can see in the pictures, it was a perfect fit! Not trimming needed, and from without having an isolator in there it raised it about an Inch. Didn't really notice how much noise they were making before, but its back to stock sounding, and feeling! and they were $13.00 from Autozone total for both sides!

Interesting, wish i would have seen this before i assembled te fronts lol. I reused the stock ones from the taco suspension I'm building since they only had 7k miles on them but I may get froggy and swap them for these. Those taco coils are a b**ch to compress though.

 

[A-Aron]

Yeah I have fj springs, and the no spring compressor method didn't work. So I had to go rent some spring compressors from oreilly, and air tools
Made quick work of it. Besides looking for one of the strut mount bolts for about an hour (never found it) everything took about an hour and a half.

No way they're as bad as OME coils set with preload, to say the least it was hella sketchy. hahaha lmao.

What happened when you tried the no compressor method?

Not a whole lot. I disconnected the sway bar links, jacked up on the LCA, had a jack on the rear opposite side, and it compressed the spring, but not enough to where I felt comfortable taking off the top strut bolt, and the Runner was off the jack stand, and real sketchy. So I just took out the strut altogether, and compressed it with spring compressors

?

Can someone confirm that these were being used for the front strut assembly to replace the rubber isolator or if this is something with the rear springs. I ask because the part number 9.6104G shows as being for the rear if I'm not mistaken.

So these would be going where the yellow is on the picture correct?
