Front spring isolators

So iv tried to get the factory isolators to sit on the top of the spring 3 times now, this is as good as i could get them ( see pics below ) is this fine? i tried tape at first then zip ties. If it needs to sit on the coil and pocket better i was just thinking about pulling them out and using some hose or something else to wrap around one whole coil thoughts?

Your attempt is probably every bit as good as the factory. I taped mine once and let'em ride. No issues.

Re: Front spring isolators

They get squished over time, and bent out of shape (like me!) - the only way to get better is to get new ones - but since they only serve to ensure no metal-to-metal banging noise ever occurs when your doing a Dukes of Hazard jump, it's not worth the trouble to get new to me.

Just put on your Daisy Dukes and go for it!
