Spacer goes above the coil. Keep dropping the axle, disconnect your shocks.

First I would re connect the control arms before putting the spring in, easier now. Sway bar and hocks is all you should need to unbolt for the axel to drop enough for a spacer. Sometimes it helps to unbolt the trackbar at the axeel. Have a buddy stand on the end of the hub while you insert the spacer and spring. Or use a bottle jack to push the axel down
