I'm guessing it could be either way then?

The kit I ordered was from Supreme Suspensions in CA.....The kit I thought was their brand stuff because it said no different when I purchased it. Turns out the front spacers were Daystar.(Had their logo on the side). Obviously install instructions are different from my place and Daystar. Its your call on that one bud. But mine works fine the way it is being on the bottom. No issues at all.

My suggestion is call the manufacture and ask them directly. Only thing I can think of.

Really wish I could be more help than that. I don't know the proper way to install them. I just went by the instructions. Not sure which is right or wrong or if it really even matters at all. Either way the spring is resting in the spacer. So I wouldnt think it matters all that much. Mine works fine for me on the bottom and JMBURTON1993...his is on top and works fine for him. So it might not matter at all.

Not a problem at all man, don't sweat it. I'll probably just end up putting it on top. I'm doing it Friday, so ill post pics after. Another thing, my front tires are bald, so should i wait I till I get new ones to align?

That much is up to you and when you get tires. If you wait I wouldn't wait long at all, but when I did my level....My alignment was WAY OFF. I did mine the same day to save my tires. If you do it right away...make sure to drive around between 50-100 miles so that everything has time to settle in place before you do the alignment. I had my alignment done at Sears and they offer a 6 month warranty with it. You can go back as many times as you feel the need to and have it rechecked and fixed at no charge.

Then I wouldnt wait long to get the tires. If the alignment is off really bad you will wear out parts fast. And I know you dont want to replace that stuff too. its not cheap. Good luck with the install. Make sure to post pics after you are done. It makes a hell of a difference with the look of your truck. I love mine and I regret waiting 6 years to do it. I'm just now starting to fix mine up. That was my first upgrade. I pick up wheels friday and i painted my grille tonight. That also makes a hell of a difference if you are looking for cheap upgrades to do.
