New Bilstein shocks dont work on my truck??!! Need help ASAP!
My truck is a 2004 fx4 crew cab, has a fabtech 6" lift with the older style coil over lift. No big spacers on the fronts.
Well I ordered the bilstein shocks, these ones to be exact.

And when i went to install them yesterday, the OD of the adjustable perch stop piece is too small, so my entire spring perch slips over it and falls off.
I'm assuming i can order a new stop piece, and if not, i'm going to have to have a big *** washer made out of 1/4-5/16 steel that will fit.
Basically, the ID of my coil perch is 2-1/2" and the OD of the little stopper is 2-1/2". The stop on my fabtech shocks is an OD of 2-3/4".

I bought my truck lifted like this, so i dont have the stock part. I've searched online to see if i can locate an adapter plate and cant seem to find one. I think i'm going to have my local metal fab shop here in town cut me two steel "washers" with an ID the size of my bilstein shocks, and an OD the diameter of the fabtech perch.
