drill out shock bushing?
I'm replacing rear pro comp 32550 shocks which are about 26" extended and 15.5" collapsed. I was having a tough time finding shocks that that measured similarly and had the correct mounts until I discovered that T-100 shocks at oem measurements pretty much fit the bill. When I got them though, the inside diameter of the bushing is like one size too small - 5/8" rather than 3/4" or something along those lines. Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't drill out the bushing to make it work?

On my 86 toyota 4 runner I kept breaking shock ends off when flexing real hard with stock height spring that have been really arched to prevent the runner sag, I found out I needed ext. Length 27" shocks and just so happens 08-13 4x4 Chevy trucks have 28" shocks and we had done a lift on a 13 Chevy so I got the old Shocks with 15'000 miles on them and they were a little to small and I drilled them out. So yes it will work.
