So like it says. I got this, however it seems it didn't come with instructions. So I'm just trying to verify as I go through it. Likely to try and attempt this weekend or next weekend. I'm pretty sure the spacers will just go ontop of the spring perch or similar. The Heavy Rubber Arm is getting me though. Any ideas? My goal is really that extra height to help the wife get in and out of the car easier with her handicap and maybe install even larger tires if they will fit further increasing the ground clearance enough that the body kit front doesn't hit curbs lol.

Not sure what you mean by a heavy rubber arm. From top to bottom in the Amazon ad picture, it's the front coilover spacer, rear spring spacer, then rear shock spacer. The rear spring and shock are separate from each other.

Does the shock spacer go on top or bottom of the shock as the bottom looks like it's the top as I have no idea how it would fit on the bottom. Forgive me on the stupid questions. I'm just trying not to spend all day working on it.

Should go on the top.

BTW, you will almost certainly need an alignment once it's installed, as the new angle of the suspension will change things.
