Strut Top Plates

[birddog2!]

Hi all,
2010 KK Getting ready to install
OME 2927 Springs
OME 2731 Springs
Bilstein 24-185660
Bilstein 24139168

Looking to bring the front assemblies to a shop to have them load them so everything is ready to install at one time.
Found this GABRIEL 143266 set on Rock auto (Pic attached) - Is there anything else the shop will need to put it together?

On a side note - If anyone is in the Tucson AZ area - recommendations on a decent shop to use - We just moved out here from the East Coast and still trying to get our footing.

THanks for any input

I’m in the same boat. Just ordered a set of KYB shock mounts for my 2003 KJ. I think that the assembly requires two spring insulators per side, so may have to order an extra set of insulators.

Thanks, After a bit more digging yes, two are needed
Spring Isolator - Mopar (52088686AA) for 02-12

So Top Plate, Two Isolators - would they need anything else?

Instead of extra isolators, you could get metal top plate spacers like these:

OK Thanks, Ill have to see how long their backorder time is.
Appreciate the info.

Oddly enough they happen to have two sets in stock even though it says backordered...
So your saying use these in place of the isolators [Item 17]?
Is there an advantage over the stock part?
Thanks

Sorry, I meant use them above the stock top plate to add 1/2” of lift.

Oh, ok that makes more sense, I was definitely confused.
Thanks

My bad. I can see how my first post wasn’t super clear.
