Bob. I do not think that you need the spacers in your setup. The donuts go bad after a few years because they are made from rubber and lose its power after a certain time. You will be surprised how the picture changes when these are replaced. Adding the spacers should not be necessary in your case , because Your Alon was originally delivered with the double fork nose gear ( this is where the tail low problem usually starts) Adding the spacers shortens the available length for dampening in your MLG.
