No spacer on my '88 K1500.
1988 K1500 regular cabNo spacer and the break pedal is in the proper height?

Vacuum booster bolts directly to firewall. Replaced booster ~20 years ago, new (rebuilt) booster bolted directly to firewall. Replaced booster two weeks ago, upgraded from "small" 1/2-ton booster to one from an extended cab--bigger booster, bigger master cylinder. Bigger booster bolts directly to firewall.

Hydroboost unit bolts directly to firewall. Under-dash is totally different from '88; I can't tell what sets the pedal height.
The brake pedal is always higher than the gas pedal, on every vehicle I've ever driven. During a "normal" stop, the brake pedal gets pushed so it's still maybe an inch above the idle position of the gas pedal. The brake pedal height is set by the rubber bumper the brake pedal lever hits on; or by the brake light switch. My '88 seems to use the brake-light switch as the upper limit of travel.
Maybe you're missing a rubber bumper under the dash, or the brake-light switch isn't adjusted properly.
