The Boge strut changed in '86. The biggest concern is usually getting the correct insert, as the design changed. I wonder if the spindle also changed and, if it did, you had a previous owner who replaced one of the struts at some point. Regardless, this should not be a big issue since you have shiny new struts. I replaced my Boge's with raised Bilsteins similar to yours and never had to deal with any spacers; just the normal bearing setup.

Edit: just looked at the pics of your struts and noticed that the spacer isn't there on your new struts. Oops!
