The front spacer goes on the top of the front spring above any rubber top cap, while the rear spacer goes over the spring 'stub' on the trailing arm at the bottom of the spring and below any existing spring shims or profiled spacers.

Jed did a couple of videos of fitting spacers on his Syncro - the rear procedure will be the same as for your van. The front procedure, although different, should give you sufficient info as to the correct location for the spacer and general order of fitting.
