Actually it works this way, the rubber is sited on the base/top of your spring which it rest on the absorber base/mounting. It's work is lift your car ride a bit higher (normally 0.5~1 inch) For your rides is bumpy, that would means that the gap between your absorber's "shock bump(the rubber thingy which sit around your absorber's shaft)" and your absorber is less than 1 inch. To get comfortable ride, it's strongly recommended that the space between them to be keep over 1.5 inchs.

3"~ sound your car is riding a bit higher than it should be. i think your tire had about to lift off the ground already.
