rear shock spacer for koni yellows ?

I see these parts on Way Motor Works but do not see much info on them. They look like something that may be necessary form what I’m seeing on his site. Has anyone installed the yellows with or without these parts?

I had wondered the same thing. I just installed Yellows and that domed piece is integrated into the mounting of the Koni. Other after market shocks may not, thus the extra piece is required to locate the mount. You don't need em.

I thought those were only necessary if you changed from the older steel rear trailing arms to the newer aluminum ones.

Or when you put gen 1 shocks or coils on a gen 2.
