Disadvantage to removing rear upper-spring insulators? After the Moser 12-bolt install I notice my rear rides significantly higher than the front, this bothers me. I was hoping if I took out the rubber piece that sits on top of the spring in the rear it would help lower it. But, I wasn't sure if this would create a bad situation (creaking, spring eventually wearing through the sheet metal, etc). Anyone know?

Re: Disadvantage to removing rear upper-spring insulators? Alot of guys pull of the spring isolater and replace it with 5/8" heater hose. It should give you about 3/4" of a drop, and the hose will prevent any squeeks or creeking.

Re: Disadvantage to removing rear upper-spring insulators? Hmmm can you tell me how much I'll need, and where on the spring it should go? Wrap it on the first coil or maybe lay it across?
