Default New shocks, tires rub... please help

I recently bought new front bilstein shocks and after I installed them I noticed my truck now sits 1inch lower in the front and now every time I turn tires rub, which that never happened before, so to correct that I bought 1/2half inch spacer. My question before I install them Since I have a 6inch rough country suspension kit on it, I want make sure do they go between the strut and the 6inch spacer or between the 6in spacer and the frame?? Thanks!

6 inch rough country*

If I remember correctly you cannot use a leveling kit with the rough country lift because it already uses a "spacer"
I think you would need to buy 6 inch lift struts then you can install your 1/2 level on top of that.
