rear shock mount extension.....

OK ...somebody help me out.....I can't for the life me find this again....it was...for lack of better words...a rear shock absober mount extension. It went between the top of the shock and the shock mount, bolted to body at rear shock mount, the the shock bolted to it. It came in diff. sizes( 1"-2" etc.)
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know if there guys http://www.detoursusa.com/xjstm.php are still in business? I called the Phone number & it is not connected.
I would like to get a 2.5 inch set of these for use on a project, are there any other quality rear shock extensions for sale out there?

If you've lifted your Jeep but didn't buy longer shocks you get that they over extend downward (bottom out on extention) when going over speed humps and things. I ran into this problem when I initially fitted a 2" OME suspension system and then shortly after that added shackles and spacers. The OME shocks were still brand new so I didn't want to change to longer ones, so I made myself some spacers.

Looking at the pics on detourusa, their's actually looks even easier to make yourself. Here's the ones I made - actually still using the rear ones until my new rear axle goes in where the lower shock mount will be raised onto the axle.

Yes I would, but being in South Africa and having to ship it to the US would probably cost more than it is worth.
