Give up on the plan and get shocks that fit directly.If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it.
You might be able to find 3/4" conduit that is the right size. Otherwise, get 3/4"-SCHD80 pipe (it is 1.050" OD) and drill it out with a 3/4" drill.Maybe take a trip to Home Depot measure I'll some conduit steel pipe excetera?
