if you're looking at the extensions that teraflex makes, they will work and are cheap. otherwise, i don't know the exact stud size or thread but, that sounds about right.

That will work for the front but will not work for the back. You need an actual bracket for the back.

This is sumthin you don't need to cheap out on. See how those Teraflex brackets have an extra bracket stickin out? That's to anchor the bracket for extra support. Shock extensions without that will likely collapse. That would suck on the trail. Or anywhere, actually.

That pic above is of the rear bracket only. I have these on mine and Ive beat the hell out of mine on the trail and have had zero problems with them failing.
