That good. Having one rubber pad between the perch and spring is no big deal. Either way it's still all good. The rubber pad does help center and hold the leaf spring in place. You can check it every so often to make sure nothing is moving. Keep an eye on the you bolts nuts. I double nut mine. I also used the wider nuts designed for rear axle U bolts.
On your spacing on the driveshaft to the seal of transmission, you may have to have the driveshaft shortened. You'll have to put the car on the ground so see where your at. I believe with the car on the ground the driveshaft yoke will push into the tranny more. Seeing you have a 2 post lift the rear will be hanging down? I think the consensus is the drive shaft yoke pushed all the way in to tranny, then pull it back approx 3/4" to 1 inch.
