I am not 100% certain if this is the correct way to do this, but what I did was drop the carriage bolts down through the radiator support then put a rubber pad on the bolts, set it on the frame. Then put the other pad on the bolts, at this point I made a flat sheet metal plate just the same size as the rubber pads and put it on just to give it more surface area. Then a flat washer, then the spring, then a flat washer, then a lock nut. I do know the springs have to be on the bottom of the frame, not as you describe if I understand your sequence. Dave
