urethane upper spring pads??

Does anyone know where i could buy some urethane upper spring pads. I called hotchkis and they told me that they dont sell them seperately. I called energy suspensions and they dont make them.

I was just reading Tim's website and decided to switch out my stock thick rubber ones. Does anyone know where i could get some. thanks.

The urethane spring pads are shown on this page from Tim's site.

thats so weird. I actually called energy suspensions and asked for the part and they told me they didn't have them. How do i know which one to choose, i want one a lot thinner than the stock pad.

Thanks Don.

It helped having a set of stock springs sitting in my place so I could measure them. Your right Energy Suspension doesn't have a listing for our trucks, but the 9.6101's fit our springs and into the spring perch.

Cliff,

I installed my coils from Stan without isolators on both the Lightning and HD with no ill effects for a combined mileage total of 25K miles. The upper end of Stan's coils are flat end so the entire upper end contacts the perch. Roush, Belltech, Hotchkis, and Eibarf coils aren't flat so this may not be ideal for their design.
