    I have the same setup and did some research on it. Unfortunately your going to have to go to another fabtech strut because the shock tube of the front strut is longer then factory. Fabtech did not use a spacer to reuse the factory struts up front. The only thing you reuse is the spring. However there are manufactures that make strut spacers so u can trash the fabtech struts and go back to a better setup. It is a little on the pricy side though. I to do not like the ride quality of my fabtech struts either.
