Default XJ Stud style shocks

Anyway to adapt regular shocks to stud style ones like on the XJ? Because a lot of quality shocks Ive been looking at dont have that stud option

"Provides necessary mounting type for extreme-travel aftermarket shock absorbers"

this is the quote from their site... so, why run stock shocks with this? seems like something youd do if your upgrading to some 14" travel ****... on that note idk if there is a way to convert a shock to that style. probably would end up welding thru shock body... but idk...

There are several companies that sell an adapter that bolts into the hole to convert to regular shocks. Example http://www.rocky-road.com/pinadapt.html I believe jks makes some too.

Basicly the bayonet eliminators open you up to the ability ro run just about any HOOP HOOP shock you find. I personally run 14" travel shocks, and I am sure a few other ppl do as well.

That much travel is possible with Long arm suspensions. Especially if set up right. I have 4" up travel and 10" down travel.
