rear shocks

That eye adapter looks nice. I know chaos makes them too. Still something I am considering when I do my new rear shocks. Then I will never have to mess with the rust bowl top bolt again.

My train of thought was also in the direction of the axle does not move just straight up and down. Every link and bar is a pivot point and can make that top stud flex in a lot of different directions. Mainly because every pivot is a radius but the top stud is just a flex bushing instead of also being a radius. An eyelet type just has a better range of motion in my opinion, like I said just my opinion. I may be way wrong on this but I just like the eyelet. And then if you went even further and found some floating eyelet style bushings that thing would have all the range it ever needs.
 
****, i just bought those bilstein 5125s and they come with the adapater..
now im wondering how the hell im going to install it up there with a 24mm
only socket i have that size is a 24mm long neck..
guess ill need to find one in a shorter length.. any tips?
 
A gearwrench would be ideal. A 24mm gearwrench will be about $70 I bet. Just get a shallow, 3/8 drive socket. It will fit. Take a pic after the install of the adapters.
 
I was able to get mine tightened down good tonight. I used a 3/8" drive ratchet with a 1/2" adapter since my 24mm socket is 1/2" drive. I also put a screw driver through the eyelet to keep it from spinning.

I think a 15/16 fits as another option for a short socket.
