Are we talking about the rectangle shaped spacers that are cupped (convex) on one side, and flat on the other? If so they go between the A-arm center bar and the shims. The center bar holes are concave on one side. That's where these spacers go. Visually it should be obvious - the curvature of the spacer and the center bar are the same. The center bars have to be flat on the side where the shims go, so those spacers provide the flat surface required.

The other side of the center bar is where the nuts for the studs go, so don't get the bar backwards. LMC Truck sells the spacers. Don't laugh, but I actually scrubbed mine down and painted them to match all the other parts.
