You can use the spacer. It is a bitch to put the topcap back on because the spring has to be compressed 15mm to get it to fit. Your fork will only have 55 to 60mm of travel if you use it.
What if I cut the top big spacer so it is the right size?

Cutting the top spacer will work fine. In fact that is the easiest way to have the exact amount of spacers in the correct places.

If you want to lower it to 80mm just cut 20mm off the top of that spacer and put it under the negative spring. Leave the other piece on the top of the big spring. Smile

http://konaman24.pinkbike.com/ ask him he knows more about them. thats what he said in the thread
it looks like a long shim but it isnt..

here are some steps:

remove the lowers (read sram's instruction, dont forget to remove the air)

you will see the cartrige on the air side

take it out and take it apart, there is a place where you put that rubber spacer that came with your fork

Put that spacer in, put everything back together, put new oil, and thats it.
