They fit in a 2.3, but the shock valving is designed for a stiffer spring and more front end weight.

The 10" brake spindle is thinner, where the strut mounts at the spindle. You'll either need spacers or washers in between the strut and the spindle...

If you need a pair of the 11" spindles, let me know. I have a set from an old project.
