I order a set of 4" lift Skyjacker springs for the front of my 1987 Ranger 4x4. I noticed that there seems to be a spring insulator at the bottom mount that is in sad shape on both side. Any ideas for replacement.

Also I will be extended my stock bump stops to prevent coil damage from happening again. I have 4" Rough Country Lift, should I use 4" bump stop exntensions or perhap 3.5" ones? What do you all use for bump stop extensions?

The bumpstop should be positioned by cycling the suspension and looking for binding. I think I found the point at which the shafts started to bind and added around 1-1.5" to the measurement. The added amount should help counteract the compression of the bumpstop, that can vary depending on the type of bumpstop you use though.

How about the spring insulators at the bottom of the spring next to the axle?
