Rear spring isolator question

What size hose do I use to slide over the top coil of the rear springs? I'm ditching the isolator since it sqeaks like hell, and the dms springs look better without it so I hear.

I always though the hose trick was for where the bottom of the spring contacts the axle.

Learning all the time.

If you have noise from the spring perches. But, taking the top isolator out and using hose drops the rear another 1/2" approx.
