in the rear they just sit on the bottom and top of the spring the front you have to slide them on... when i did my springs they didnt come with isolators either and i didnt use any and everything is fine but who knows someone might say my setup is wrong

If you have stock springs you will have to be careful when doing the fronts because they are so tall they are still compressed when the control arm is all the way down. They will fly out at you if you are not careful. Might as well swap springs while you are there though.
