94 shocks problems?

[grenda]

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...

I've got a set of Doetsch 3000's with maybe 500 miles on them that'll fit your truck. The fronts are 17.5 extended and 11.5 compressed, the rears are 26.5 extended and 16.5 compressed. I'm thinking 50 plus shipping, let me know.

^ Are they off a 1st gen?

Off my '86.

He can only use the fronts then.

The upper mounts on rear 2nd gen 4runner shocks mount like the fronts. They have a bolt with a nut on it, not a through bolt. (see his pic)

You can get an adapter that changes it to run the other style, such as the shocks on 1st gens and Pickups (Not tacoma)

Edit: I re read his post. He wants to make a mount that will let him run the through bolt style, in that case they'll work great!:thumb:

Well that's dumb. Stupid second gens.

Guys trust me I know. Trying to find a shock with a 3/4" lower eye loop and a 1/2" post mount on top is nearly impossible. Found a set of skyjackers on cl but the guy can't find me a part number. Called skyjacker direct and they said I will need a n8024. So the hunt continues. Probably gonna fab an eye loop for the top. Really opens up my options.
