Urgent Help: TR 2/3/4 tube shock installation

guys (and gals):

A little stuck here and would like to get help today so I can get this done before the snow falls (non heated garage).

I installed the front tube shock and am confused on the mounting of the UPPER bump rubber bushings.

I have two thick steel washers and two poly bump stops to install per side.

DO BOTH of the poly bushings go UNDER the steel/frame turret or does one of the bushings go underneath the frame turret and one of the poly bushings go above the turret (ie: on the outside of the frame turret). (my disassembly notes are a little fuzzy and 5 yrs old!).

Thanks for the quick responses on this one.

I agree, washer and rubber above and below. The bushings that came with my replacement shocks were not correct.
