Yes, there must be, there is ~3/4" there from stock isolators.

Sweet so even though the springs where changed out these isolators are still there, 3/4 is what i need..

Some springs came with thin isolators, some did not. You will have to jack it up and pull a wheel to see.

As i recall i did not have any isolators on the springs, i have a tonneau cover and its making the truck look more lower in the rear than the front

I am sure the rubber is on top of the spring. You will max out the alignment though. So it will wear tires a little faster.
