Front coil springs

[JR]

So! It appears as though my new to me 14 3500 SRW has a front leveling kit. Needless to say it's going by the way side pronto. What is the coil supposed to sit on in factory form? Should be just an isolator like this?

It looks like the oem is still there, can you just reuse it after you pull the spacer?

Nick that's what I'm hoping for but not 100% sure, don't want to tear it down and be on hold, I wasn't sure if that was part of the spacer or?

A clearer picture would help give you a better answer.

It's kinda blurry but looks like it's there. I did a front level on mine using tough truck Springs, instead of spacers. They reused the OEM isolator. When you put the isolator back in, there is a protruding piece on the top of the isolator that indexes into a hole. Make sure you put that little tab back into the hole.

That looks like a spacer to me. Stock has a rubber isolator that has a contour for the spring to wrap around...

I thought so too until I took a closer look. Looks like the leveling spacer is sitting on top of the the OEM rubber isolator to me. But we need a better picture to be sure either way.

Sorry for the delay guys, spring time is busy in orchard country. Yes it is a leveling kit/spacer, that was never the question. The only question I had was do kits like this use the OEM isolator or do I need to buy a set before I tear it down. I'll get a better picture tomorrow but I'm not sure that will help.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Every one I've seen reuses the OEM isolator.

It will help, right now its a black blur and hard to identify where one part ends and another begins, looks like the isolator is there but very hard to see.

The isolators are not that much money,they can wear out or be damaged.Have new ones for the new springs and have no worries

This is what I ended up doing. Hoping to get to it over the weekend, got a big road trip coming up next weekend to Hatfield McCoy.

Thanks to all for the suggestions!
