Anyone doing this? It's come up several times on different pages I was looking at. Seems like it makes since to me. I'm sure my factory ones are worn out. And 60 bucks for isolators is going to hurt my feelings! lol And is it just for the lowers or can you use it on the uppers too?

Thanks!

He is talking about using heater hose as isolators or possibly for a bump stop if you get the hose large enough make a slice down it and sit it in the making it cup around the spring

^Yes what he said. I just really didn't want to spend 60 bucks on isos. I'm hoping I can re use the stock ones. But if they're too worn out. I was wondering about this.

Try my method first or if you can slide it around the coil that would work too I'm not sure if they are separated enough at the bottom to do that though if you can then spray the coil with wd40 to get it all lubed up

Mine were shot and i didnt think to get new ones when i was doing my rear axle swap. Installed the springs without the isos and no noise at all.
