Ok here is a very simple explination,
1) remove the shock end from the shock shaft
2) turn shock upside down and remove the alluminum cartridge (the part that holds the o rings) from the shock body.
3) place 1 shim on the shock body (it will fit over the threads of the shock body)
4) reinstall the cartridge and tighten down
5) reinstall shock end

The cartridge will tighten down onto the new shim wich will stop the cartridge from travling as far up the threads, as a result not crushing the o rings as much. This allows the shaft to move more freely but still with no leaks. It is still a good idea to always make sure the pistons are smooth with some very light sand paper.
I hope this helps make it clear, i dont know how to post pics
