I wouldn't they actually hold the spring in place. Other than that they can slide around! Wouldn't do it!

I took out just the top isolators on the front springs and I'd say that they can give another 1/4" drop.. if i would have taken both top and bottom I bet I could have gotten that 1/2".

And I have yet to hear any other ill noises besides my bad balljoint.[:@]

I thought about taking out the top isolator but just afraid it'll be noisy with my luck
