Randall, it sounds to me like you're trying to get the nut off the shaft of your KSports, right? I just had a similar problem with my JRZ adjustables - how to hold the shaft from spinning to tighten the top nut down. What I did (since I had enough exposed thread to do this) was put two more nuts on the shaft above the nut to be loosened or tightened. I then snugged those two nuts up real tight to each other. This kind of locks them onto the shaft. Then you can hold these locked nuts with a wrench (which then holds the shaft steady from spinning) and loosen or tighten the main nut you're trying to get to. Worked for me and no need to bung up your shock shaft with vice grips.
