Default in the middle of lifting... help please

the front shocks of my 99 jeep cherokee has a shock stem eliminator installed... however i have JK Rubicon shocks to replace them, but those have a stem at one end... what should i do. And now my laptop keyboard is all greasy because I thought I wasn't going to need help with this lift ... ha

It's welded to the unibody, plus im not sure what a stem mounted shock should look like when installed...

is their a way to make a stem shock into a hoop/loop shock

look at the top of it, it should just be a nut holding the bolt. and it should come out.

from the tom i mean open the hood and you should see a bolt and washer one near the brake booster and the other kinda near the battery
