i don't know if this is the right way but i would put it at the tcase to stop from getting damaged by rocks and what not.

I installed thinner spacers at both ends and have run my truck that way for about 6 years.  Haven't lost a u-joint because of it yet...  I DID lose a rear u-joint because I undertightened the flange bolts...

Thats how i have seen people doing them.  Just like ack said, spacers on both sides of the drive shaft.  But i have seen it the other way to on the T-case side thou, i guess to keep it higher up.

I've had my spacers on the diff's for the last ten years with no problems. I guess it doesn't really matter.
