Holy crap!
Yes you need a real lift, thats the worst style right there.
As far as front shocks go we're not just telling you that for S&Gs , with those types pf spacer lifts its real ******* the shocks, replace them now and you'll be good for 75-100,000 miles. If you don't you could be replacing them in 5 or 10,000 . PLUS weak shocks are ******* new springs
Plus your time and money tearing them down
GOOD thing is that you still have the isolator's so you're good to go there
Those are going to be a b**** to get off . I know we removed a set here a few months back, best is to cut them off its hard to hammer them off
