I would get new isolators. The polyurethanes will help just a tad to stiffen everything up. I am glad I put new ones in. DEF helped a tad.

LOL the 4x4 never bothered me. I didnt think it looked like a 4x4 anyways. My back was always lower than my front so I just leveled it out with some mach 1 fronts and poly isos. Looks great to me. LOL

I like my chin spoiler and it likes me. No reason to scrape the hell out of it everytime I drive my car.

I just finished my suspension and I was wondering the same thing u are. I went with polys in the front to stiffen it up some and left the stockers in the back. I'm glad I did because my isos on the front were basically destroyed, the ones on the back however were in good condition. I hope that helps.

i also kept my stock iso's. i have the ford racing b springs. my only complaint is the front is higher than the back. my plans are to cut out one coil when i can afford caster camber plates. i also bought the offset rack bushings from jegs for $15 to keep from wearing out inner tie rods.
