Once you have placed the clip into the groove you want, you slide on a plate that the stock spring sits on. Once you have set your clip, slide on the spring plate, slide on the spring and put the strut back together you are ready to install the strut.
It's a very simple process, but i highly reccommed you use a shop that has a hydrolic spring compressor if you don't have one. These stock F-150 springs are pretty heavy duty. Using hand spring compressors that you can rent from auto parts stores are fairly dangerous to use.

Spacer on top of bilsteins and camburg is a lot of stress on the front. U might not be able to install both because of the length...also trying to get an alignment on that would be impossible. Its tough enough to get the right alignment on fox/icon/king coils and camburg arms at full lift. I would recommend the 4 inch Rancho kit just the front kit. I saw in the for sale section someone selling the kit for a good deal. This is your best bet. I would not spend the money on bilsteins and try to set them at max lift as we'll as adding the spacer. Not a good idea.... I also now that getting the king/icon/fox and the Camburg setup will not get u to where u want the front to sit. Hope this helps
