Hi mate undo the shock,Jack the car up as high as possible and the axle will drop down, there should be enough room to put the spacer into place without using a spring clamp. I used a forklift truck when I put mine in and this worked.
Thanks

Rob try it the other way round ie compress the spring then jack it up, you can bind the springs with two (on opposite sides) small ratchet straps then jack it up. Like this, obviously not a Jimny spring but you get the idea.
Cheers,
