AGX shocks on 2001 AE (install question)

I receieved my AGX struts/shocks from Cattman. I'm in the middle of installing the rears (with H&R Srings), and noticed that the center crown on the lower spring seat has a slightly little larger diameter on the AGX shock vs the stock shock. The spring doesn't fit all the way over the crown and won't really sit properly in the spring seat. Is this OK? I know these AGX are for made for 4th gen, but want to make sure before I go on. These struts/shocks came as a 5th generation kit (fronts modified) so I assume all is correct. Anyone? JK

yeah...there's about a 1/5 inch of gap...it's ok...mine's like that too..it raises the rear just a bit, but other than that, it's cool.

you can buy 4th gen springs if you'd like to erase that gap.
