Default Rack and pinion help!

Im in the middle of my installation and I have a question about the bumpsteer spacers. Correct me if im wrong here and I hope that I am. So you have to install the tie rods take the car of jackstands set it back down on the ground check to see if the tie rod is parallel to the lower control arm. If its not which it wont be, because I have the VBP 550lb lower springs. I have to take the tie rods off again and readjust the spacers. Hasn't somebody already figured out what spacers to use for this combo??? Also when I do install the tie rods the spacers should come up to the spindle right! Otherwise why are they there? Its starting to get pretty tough to tighten and I dont want to proceed until I know its right.
