i understand most go on top. and im not trying to proove anyone wrong and i really aprreciate the help. but the picture on the packaging shows that they go on the bottom. i dont understand. sad part is i bought them on ebay so if they dont work ill probably not get any money back. if i put them on and all is not good if i put it back to stock will i still need an alignment?

What spacer did you get? do you have a link to ebay for the spacer you bought? I've never heard of one on the bottom of the spring. A guy off ebay told you you didn't need an alignment or longer shocks??????? I want to see the spacer you got, kind of interested now.

For sure they show they go on the bottom. I've just NEVER seen that. I guess whether they go on the top or bottom it's still a spacer. I would like to see how this works out with pictures. I guess it would be a good learning experience. Can't wait to see it on.

Sorry, but I don't think this is the way you want to go.
If it changes your static height 2" it will require re-alignment. i believe Sears will check your alignment and only charge you if it actually needs alignment, check this out as it has been a long time since I have dealt with them. However, my local tire shop who does my state inspection will check my alignment for free.
Good luck,

Get the alignment. I am putting my level on Saturday, weather permitting as it snowed 8" in Texas today!!!!!, and I have the shop ready for an alignment on Monday. 65.00 is what they are charging me. I have never heard of a spacer on the bottom, crazy.
I really don't think those spacers are gonna work, the bottom end of the coil isn't flat it still continues to spiral down so theres that end of the coil that sticks out and sits in the lower control arm. I just don't see it happening and staying in place very well.
