Yep, driving into a brick wall r3v style will do.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

88 bumper shocks are slightly smaller and will give you some tuck.
But why not just go buy a cheap $20 drill and just drill them?Comment

Don't beat around the bush,
the best, easiest, and cheapest way to do this is to remove the bumper until you have a vision of the shocks and simply drill them. When you drill, you may need to drill each absorber more than once on drifferent positions because they have multiple chambers. Go to a pawn shop and buy a cheap drill. Good luck.1990 325is Brillantrod

I have a drill, and the bits, but I can't get it to pierce the shocks. i was just going to take the shocks off, but I don't know what all to remove. Obviously the nuts, but is there anything else?Comment

Ok, you need a SHARP bit, if not patience. You need to keep the drill bit rotating in a single spot until it gets hot enough and you're gonna start seeing it working little by little. Don't get discouraged.1990 325is Brillantrod

Take a hack saw and cut into the side of it when you get to the inside the hacksaw will help prevent some of the mess too. super easyComment
