You can stick the bolt threw as it is, but the flange makes it so you cant slide the bottom of the shock threw the uprights on the a arm. You can just take the swivel ball out though and put the one in from your old shock that will work also. Or like I said cut the flange off works either way The ones you posted the link on are universal savage shocks so you wont need to cut anything. Just the ones someguy posted.
