Misleading indeed. A kit of this quality and price should include a top mount plate, or at least a replacement isolator (bushing).

Thanks for the quick response. I have air tools, so I think my...

Did this work well? I'm doing the same install now and have the same dilemma. Bilstein told me to cut it like you did, but there is the option of getting isolator bushings that fit the flat springs...

This is tempting, as it seems most of the cheaper kits do look and fit identically, but the concern is the durability of the ball joints. When searching, I found a few people claimed to have ball...
