now you may need to compress the coil springs in order to put them back with the new spacers, here is I did, after I took them off I had to put them back without the spacer on and jack my truck up so the springs will compress, after the were compress I tied them so the would not uncompress once I lowered the axle and I'll be able to put the spacers so I did it and it worked.
after you do this just start put everything back were it was and you are done next take it to a shop for alignment.

Nice job, looks great. Now all you need are some bigger tires to shove under that thing!
