Can I remove this isolator pad or whatever the proper name is without any adverse affects? I understand that this will raise the rear of the car a little bit, but that is no problem. Is this just a remove and put back together just without this piece kind of operation? Or will I have to get new shock plates or spring pads or shims??Thanks, Tom ------------------

I removed my insulators when I installed the ssm lift bars. The holes in the axle housing and the shock plate will be too large for the center bolt from the spring. I made bushings to take up the slack and used longer spring bolts to keep them in place.

Thanks for the info, John.Did you use solid bushings or rubber bushings to do this? I have an extra set of spring/shock plates to try from a 57 Ford, too, if that will help. I guess I will get a better idea of all this when I take it apart.
Thanks,
Tom
