We used to call them "Pucks" and they were never ideal. It's going to ride very stiff. Any way you will need a shock spring compressor. You can make one but I advise buying or borrowing one. Put the spacer on the shaft end. The tool looks like one of these but there are other types that just compress the spring.

And just so you are aware, some people who used the 2" Pucks were breaking the ends (eyes) off the shocks....and going through CV joints pretty fast.
