Mounting Shocks with 2 eyelets?
« on: November 08, 2007, 11:48:00 AM »
Has anyone figured out a way to mount shocks that have an eyelet at each end? I've had my eye on some from Mikes XS shocks for awhile now. Stock has an eyelet at one end and a fork at the other. Any idears? Below are the Mike's shocks.

You could mill out an "H" shaped adaptor from decent steel BUT that will make them 3" longer and be expensive as well as a crap look
