Yup, pretty sure! I just installed my Buddie's suspension this past Saturday, so it's pretty fresh in my mind.

That looks right. You want the ridge on the outside.

Here is a diagram for additional assistance.

Re: Top shock mount bushings (jetpilot)

it doesnt really matter because its all compressed down under pressure in the end anyway.. just make sure you have all the washers. you should have 3 washers in all. two on the bottom and one on the top..
