ok, where the mount point comes down from the body, there are two 1/2 inch or so gasket looking rings and then my 2 inch bb sits flush on them with the springs resting in the groove in the bottom of the bb. make sure its not upside down? or put some weight on it to see if it sits true? good luck! they look nice when done! and sorry no pics...

On my 87 I was told to use a monkey wrench and twist the bump stops off in the front. Maybe the 89 is different. But you might want to be prepared when you go to install them and have a monkey wrench handy.
