Just my opinion, but the springs would transmit more vibration/noise into the cabin. Not sure if there would be a mechanical issue.

your talking about the thin rubber pads on top and bottom? Yes, it's fine. You might get a little squeak going over bumps or something, but it's fine.

squeaks like that annoy the crap outta me but it's not my ride :shrug: I vote that you're much better off just buying shorter springs and some shock relocation brackets and call it a day.

Leave them in. When I removed mine I noticed a .2" height difference at best and did have a squeak here and there.

Pulling isolaters wouldn't be worth it IMO. Plus, after some time, the rubbing of metal to metal will wear away the paint from both coils and frame. No paint = bare metal. Bare metal = rust and corrosion.
Modded, trucks looking good.I haven't seen it with the blk wheels and grille.
