Yea it goes in between the strut and the lower fork. I never used the spacer, but not a bad idea.

Yeah, that way if you didn't get things *quite* tight enough it won't slip down on you in the middle of a run and throw your front suspension all wonky...

I've never used the spacers either. The conduit nut only work on the Old Man Emu/Rusty's struts. The lip on the stock struts and the Rancho's is not large enough and the conduit nut just slip right over.

The conduits WILL work on the Ranchos, I have them on mine, they will slip over the little lip but just put a couple more on to where they slip over, not a problem.

No...conduit nuts are in the electrical department. With all of the electrical conduit boxes, etc. Just look where all of the electrical contractor supplies are.

So this does not work on the stock struts? I was going try this out along with some upper rear isolator pads for the rear suspension.
