i cheat by placing the isolator on the spring first,it has a notch where it is to be seated.i use a small piece of electrical tape to hold the isolator on the spring and install



you can also ditch the isolators and use 5/8 heater hose on the coil and instal it that way,it will give you a 3/4-1" drop in the rear with no adverse affects.

If you have the lower part of the spring that sits on the axle facing towards the rear of the car ( the pigtail end of it ), it will locate the top part for you. Make the pigtail sit so it's perpendicular to the rear end.
