    Did you get the frame faced?

    The crank manual will tell you how many each side if any for your shell width.

    frame is ready to go! In the manual it says a spacer with the "band type" and none with the bracket type" not sure what that means ?

    Band or bracket is how the front mech is connected - a band around the seatube or a bracket on the BB. If it's a bracket, it takes the place of a spacer.
