No you end up with a strut housing that is longer then the TRD shock (they are in reality AE92 shocks). At rest the shock would be hanging inside the cartridge. The shock doesn't come into work untill the slack is taken up by spring compression. After that the shock hits the bottom of the cartridge with a nice little bang and starts working. No good.
You add a spacer under the shock to make things nice and snug. The shock starts working immediately during compression.

The spacer itself is just a lump of metal, something anyone can make on the quick.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
