Found a set of four Rancho 5000's off craigslist and only looked at the travel length and they were within the limits I needed so I bought the set of 4 for $100. They were used but still in very good shape. When I got home to put them on, the eyeloops on the bottom where way too small. Called Rancho and they said I need a 3/4" bushing eye loop on the bottom end and a half inch bolt mount on top. They also said I will not be able to switch bushings in these shocks either, so I will need new ones. I currently have RS5187's but need longer shocks due to new FJ coils installed. Can anyone give me a part number that would fit my needs? Ideally I would like somewhere around 15"-25" for the rear shocks. I also am thinking of fabricating a piece of angle iron to make an upper shock mount so I can use a shock with eyeloops on each end? Has anyone done this?
Thanks for you help.
Below are pics of the rear upper shock mount where I plan to weld the fabrication...

Any ideas boys?

Figure out what vehicle has the shock mounts you want.

Buy the new shock mounts or get used ones .

attach to vehicle .

A whole lot easier then making up brackets faster as well.

unless this is so far from any normal shock mounting system then your going to need to fabricate your own.

Making a new bracket wouldn't be hard at all. Just make sure you get the angle right
