This is exactly how I found my plug after tilting the front clip forward:
Geez man, that could had ended badly. Glad you found it. Now that you've cleaned it do they work? Xjdad gonna make a new one for you?

I know stock coil isolators should be .5". Its better to run just a spacer and no isolator? Ill just add .5" to what i want my lift to increase by.

It's closer to .25. The poly ones say you don't have to use the isolator. I ordered mine from fat bobs and it says 1.75 with isolator, 1.5 without. My ride difference without it.

My only complaint about them was that they were a tight fit on the bumpstop tower. I made relief cuts in the bottom and beat them to the too with a rubber mallet. They will never fall out haha

I'm pretty sure the isolator goes on the bottom of the spacer but I'm not sure.

Well yeah, but it was all rusted, and one of the prongs rusted halfway through.
