I checked mine.
Never really noticed when I installed the shocks but, I was focused on finishing so I could get out for a ride.
With the factory shock mount, they just bend in to make contact.
I can see this as a problem if you have a more rigid aftermarket mount.

I just wasn't comfortable with the amount of bending that would have to happen to make it fit. And if one side bent more than the other then the shock bottom would be slightly off center and suspension loads would not be applied in a straight line from top to bottom.

Every time that you make a bend you make the metal weaker at that point.

Since the factory mount is little more than stamped steel and is now compromised, I will be upgrading the lower mount during the off season. Will also add shims.
Just need to shop for a new mount.

Earlier in this thread Dave@DDMWorks said they would provide the correct sized spacers to anyone that needed them. Then you wont need shims.
Hey Guys!
Anyone here needing spacers for their shocks, please send me your name and address- I will get these out to you as soon as I have the info!
Thanks!

What setting do you use for the compression and rebound when that happens?
