I'm surprised I don't see more posts about these cones. I've dislocated three times now from the rubber cones... doing some real basic offroading.

You're on LRF, you're not really going to see much "off roading". Discoweb would be more aware

Looks like the rear isolators will work.

What the heck, I'm going to install them.

You bet. Thanks for the tipoff.
I'm looking forward to ditching that breakage prone rubber cone for this.

Jeff,

Do you have your swaybars disconnected?

Brian.

I axed the rear sway altogether. Definitely a good move.

I have slickrock fab disconnects for the front. Fighting a little gremlin at the moment, I can't get the RH bracket for the sway bar tightened all the way. About a 1/2" gap between frame and bracket. I think my sway bar might be bent. Considering hard just axing the front sway, but I might regret that

Figured you must have, but thought I'd ask. Been kicking around the idea of deleting both of mine. And these cones will be necessary (or making spring alignment better) if I do? I've only got a 2 inch lift...if that matters.

If you run without sways, then yeah I recommend to run these. But if you don't have issues with the OEM rubber getting pinched under the spring, or worse, popping out, then I suppose you don't need them

Mission accomplished. These sort of upgrades feel good.
