Figured i'd throw this here as a "how to" for people to reference.
First and foremost, go through all the necessary steps to remove the spring:
Jack up vehicle
Jack stand under frame rail
Disconnect swaybar
Disconnect shock
Remove spring

A screwdriver helps get the lower isolator off

I recommend cleaning the surface.... there'll be caked on dirt (unless you stay in mall parking lots)

The top side of the spacer has double sided tape. Not necessary, but it helps keep things aligned when offroading and losing spring force due to flex

Mate the spacer with the isolator. I recommend putting new isolators on while you're at it...

Next put the spacer/isolator combo back on:

And most importantly, put the spring back in! :p (Ok i guess the tire is important too...)
