Any possible way to fit IFS Damper to SAS Pickup?

I accidently bought an IFS Damper off eBay, had it shipped open the box and it's totally different on one end.. The one in the SAS right now has a loop one end, and a thread the other end..

The damper I bought has a loop on both ends. Has anyone else fitted an IFS damper to a Solid Axle..

P.s i don't have a welder to make another bracket or something.

Might have a look here at some shock end adapters:

But also check the length (compressed and extended). Might be the IFS shocks are too short for the solid axle front end.

OK, wasn't sure if it was the steering damper or shocks that was being referred to. I recall my factory damper has a threaded stud on one end and something like a tie rod end on the other end. When I went to crossover steering, I used a damper with threaded rods on both ends and made a bracket with two small u-bolts and some angle iron to make a mount for the tie rod end. Might see if you can come up with something like that:
