They go on top of the spring.

Mate - they go at the top of the coil.

Do you understand how they work and what they will do to the handling and 4wding capability of the car?

The plastic donut looking ones go at the top.




The metal block looking ones go at the bottom under the spring perch.

Ah, mine dont look like the red ones more like the bottom ones. I am just fitting them to compensate for my new Tyres. 245/75/16 Maxxis.

Ah ok. Those pictured look like they replace the lower perch. There are also some that space between the axle and the perch.

I fitted rear 30mm spacers on to a 2" lift to compensate for rear drawers etc, & haven't been happy with the way the vehicle drives since.
