Default Help with new shock and spring install.

Hey guys, I picked up some new shocks and springs, and had a few questions before I get into it.

First, where does this washer and, cap? Go in the assembly? Really can't quite figure it out just looking it over

Second is how far down should the nut on the top of the shaft be tightened. Just til 33 ftlbs?

And lastly, do I need to load the suspension to torque the new assembly in?

Thanks to any and all help.
