    I got these used about a month ago. Did a rebuild and revaulve from .012 to .010 for a softer ride. Spring rate is 700 pounds other then that is a simple coilover. Anyhow my problem is I've never installed these and can't find a good picture of them installed to be able to tell which way the spacers should point. One is bigger and other is smaller. Dose the small one point to the outside or vise versa?
    Thanks

    i have those on my fj, my spacers are in the middle. Since the struts have a slight lean toward the back of rig, if you can't place them (spacers) in the middle (by pressing them in a vise/press etc.), then i'd say the extended side should be toward the back of the rig. just make sure you have the clearance on both front and rear of the saddle where they mount.

    ^ Boss is right on.

    SAW/RR no longer builds shocks. Brian decided to move on to other things and sell out of his shock business. Kind of sucks because I really liked SAW shocks...
