Pretty much I explained that this stepped larger diameter section is approx 17.42mm and 12.70mm in length.
It tapers down after that.
OEM measured best I can is 17.70mm from inside largest and barely tapers to 17.42 near the outer edge.
Hope 3rd times the charm!

Okay the rep said it will work just draw it in with a nut. Upon initial testing it does seem to go in and not many choices so we're just gonna do it. Hope no stud breaks.
Was just using oem struts how it went in without a nut as reference and thought these would be similar.
Fingers crossed!!!

Struts put in FINALLY! Waiting on my trunk guy to deliver the lines tomorrow to begin testing.
I documented most of it on video.
I'll shoot over some updates after this is all finalized.

Yeah people trip out when they see it cause they used to the long skinny shiny tube. Mines all fat and chunky but it fits in our center back area perfectly though being a 5 gal.
