I am doing a custom lift to my Pajero IO and am looking for suitable shocks for the rear.
They have this style of ends on them.

The main problem im having is knowing what shocks have what eyelets?
My stock shock eyelets are 37mm wide with a hole to fit a 16mm bolt on the top and a 12mm bolt on the bottom. If the shocks are larger than this I can always sleeve them down to the right size.
The jeep wrangler shocks looked like i could make them work But some pics looked different, so Im hoping you guys can help me out ?

FYI stock shocks are 322mm collapsed and 520mm extended.
I was looking at some billys at 383mm - 618mm or 404mm - 658mm. The 431mm - 711mm might be pushing it but tempting to try.

Jk wrangler shocks are eyelet at both end but have Bar Pins on the upper end. These can be cut/pressed out however leaving x2 eyelets. Not sure of the crush tube size though.

Thanks guys!
Yeah i thought a quick angle grind to some JK might do the trick, But wasn't sure.
Some of those ranchos might do the trick too. Is the adjustment on them enough to make them suit any car/spring setup?
