If you do not have a hole in the lower spring seat you will want to mark the hole to be drilled with a center punch in the center of the lower spring seat. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center of the lower spring seat. I have included a link to the installation instructions which will walk you through the process.
Please note that Firestone Coil-Rite springs, # F4105, are designed more to keep the rear end from sagging when under load. If the vehicle is sagging in the back and it is not under load then you could have a suspension problem and you will want a shop to take a look at it. Suspension enhancement can only be installed on a suspension system that is in good working order.
