Shop saying I need isolator for Geiser rear springs?

[wmflyfisher]

2024 35 Raptor. Already have RPG 1.5 spacer installed in rear. Dropped off at shop today to remove spacers and install Geiser rear springs. They’re telling me that I need an isolater collar in between the spring and upper mount. Said the shop must have discarded it when they installed the spacer. Is this legit or do they not know what the hell they are doing?

When I look I can see a rubber bushing of some sort between the current spring and the spacer. Is there another top piece that the factory rubber bushing sits in? They said it has a bearing as well?

Coils this be it?

Looks like it. But i would check with the shop to make sure that's the part they were talking about.

From what I can tell so far the factory bushing bolts to the spacer then the spacer bolts to the top plate. If removing the spacer wouldn’t you just remove the rubber bushing from it and put it back on top of the new spring?

Take a look under you truck to make sure they are missing. I didn't read the RPG instructions, but the pictures show it in there.

Great thanks. They aren’t missing they are bolted to the spacer. You just have to unbolt and re-insert back into to the top plate. This helps. Just wasted $240 for nothing. I had them re-install it because they couldn’t figure it out.
