really? shit... what about a sleeve with the top filled in and a hole drilled into the top for the shaft. So the sleeve fits down over the shock, and the top (rim?) of the collar goes over the top of the shock where the shaft passes through the hole. Then, you can have another collar on the bottom of it where you can slide a perch onto it.

Does that make sense at all?

Shocks are not designed to be load bearing suspension components usually, so that probably would not really work either. If the shock was beefy enough to do that, you could groove it anyway.
