[RESOLVED] Simple Rear Shock Install Question

I have a simple question on installing my rear shocks for any of the suspension wisemen or anyone who still has their origional stock setup installed. I'm replacing all my suspension bushings with urthane & have my rear suspension all apart. I paid attention to the way I pulled the shocks off but just wanted to verify I did reinstall them correctly when I origionally installed the Tokico's years ago. My shocks have a spacer on the bottom mount that offsets the bottom mounting location one way or the other. My question is which way are the shocks to be installed, does the part of the spacer thats longer get located towards the outer or inner? If anyone happens to have a pic of this, that would be great

After some searching around, it appears that the longer end of the spacer should be located towards the outer of the vehicle (or touching the knuckle). This is how I had them installed, but wondering if anyone can verify this before I re-install them?

Yes you have it right. It should be pointed out wards away from the car. Just like this stock shock, picture taken from vfaq.
