Check with the manufacturer of the spacers. They will usually have a guide as to the best installation of there product. Also be sure that the product you bought is actually for your truck. A lot of times auto parts stores will sell you a product that says it will fit your truck but actually wont. Esp if the person at the counter is inexperienced. And if you bought a generic coil spring spacer I would recommend you look into getting a leveling kit instead. The generic spacers are not usually meant for 4x4 applications. That is another thing you need to check with the manufacturer about.

What kind of spacer?The polyurethane type with the bolt extension are made to have the spring rest on the spacer.Post a pic or part # and manufacturer.That would help.My GUESS is the 2 inch urethane style.It's not difficult to install but it can be dangerous as you have to remove the coil spring to do so.
