The XT130 strut top doesn't mate to the KE55 strut/spring and vice versa.. Been there, tried that. The only way to make the XT130 strut fit, that I know of, is to modify the chassis to take the XT130 strut top, or put the KE55 spring seats on the XT130 struts..

I did have links to both ways.. But I can only find the hack-at method;

RT132 are identical struts to XT130, and the KE35 is the same as a KE55.

Basically the spring seat replacement just involves hacking off the lower spring seats on the KE struts, then welding them in place of the XT130 ones.. Then you use the KE springs and strut top on the XT130 strut/shock.
