I don't have a plastic spacer UNDER the shock body. When you put the spacer INSIDE the shock body on the shaft (either o-rings or plastic spacer) the shock will shorten so much I don't think you'll have room for anything on the outside other the the spring retainer on the bottom of the shock.

With the internal spacers (and the spring retainer on the shock), total shock travel is 1/4" or even less, I think.

By the way Tim, I think Derek and I are going to race at Trackside this Saturday to get some practice in before the big Mini Mayhem event there next weekend. Come on up and we can get things tuned up.
