Just thinking out loud here, but....

The 5 mph shocks have a square foot on them that bolts to the front of the car. Same as on the rear.

Perhaps you could cut these flanges/feet off and weld something to them? Be careful here. These might be under some sort of pressure so you might want to drill through the body first and release any oil or nitrogen that might be in there. I have never cut one open so I don't know what makes them work.
