I suppose you could put spacers in the front, but I've never heard of anyone having to do that. Front spacers would have to go at the top of the spring, above the rubber spring seat. You'll need a spring compressor to remove and reinstall the springs.
Rear spring spacers don't require a spring compressor. Just undo the shocks and the trailing arms and the axle will swing right down enough to get the springs out. Lower the axle with a jack under the center. Watch the rubber brake line so you don't overextend and break it. There should be just enough play to get the springs out.
Someone else will have to chime in on the proper distance from wheel to arch. I'd bet all mine are different. :-)
