To do it right, you need Old Man Emu (OME) struts.  As far as I can tell, only OME makes struts that have the proper length to them.  Does someone out there know of an alternative strut?

The other. more common solutions are to flip the strut mounting bracket or add extensions to the existing (new or otherwise) struts.

If the struts are good then I'd go for the the spacer option (actually I did, lol).
