shock stud adapters

[Four0Sport]

I've been looking into some shock stud adapters for the front of my explorer so that in the future i will be able to use shocks with eyelets on both ends. this will make it easier to find a longer shock at a parts store w/out having to spend money on a vehicle specific shock that needs ordered in.

that also got me thinking about the rear shocks. has anyone converted the rear upper attachment setup to an eyelet style? basically can a shock adapter be modified to work on the back top mount?

I was going to post a picture of the adapters I found in the clearance section of 4wheelparts but they arent there and doing a search on the site yielded no results.

I've got a picture in my head of what these look like, cant find a pic to relate. Sure something could be fabbed up............ however haven't looked under the rear of a SPORT, aren't the rear top mounts already eyelet?

The upper rear uses a cross pin or cross bar mount.. here is the conversion for that..

Here's a better version of the cross bar mount adapter:

those are the stub adapters i was referring to Ted, also shown in the link in post 3 from Maniak. I was wondering if an adapter like that could be mounted in the rear for use of a top eyelet style shock w/out a t-bar.
