The nut is welded onto the shock itself.

When I switched to using ITR LCA's, I had the nut chiseled off and used a M8x1.25 flange nut.

I actually like that better b/c it's easier to install the bolts without having to worry about the threads lining up or being damaged (altho it's pretty hard to damage the threads). You just push or whack the bolt through and slap the nut on the other side. Voila.
