Im swapping out my 10 bolt front axle with another 10 bolt so my gears match front and rear...

When I removed the u bolts the little angled spacers under the leaf springs fell out and I cant remember which way it goes back in,,,,

Does anyone know off hand if the thick end of the spacer goes towards the front or the back of the truck???? Im thinkin the spacer is to set the angle so the driveshaft angle is good ya???

You want the thick end to be closest to the front, if you have them on the rear axle you would want the thick part to be closest to the rear. You got it right! It is there to correct driveshaft angles.
