hi Dachshund
what i think i know (could be mistaken)
1. spacer goes outside away from frame
2. the extra spring clamp goes to the rear of the truck
3. non of my trucks has any kind of rubber or plastic spacers, it's all big metal parts only, nor do any of my documents show any types of rubber or plastic spacers of any kind
4. same as 3 above, only big metal parts, nothing rubber or plastic in the whole assembly
