accordionman,
It is important to see what kind of cylinders you have. Constuction varies including the kind that where the ends and body are bolted together and the kind that has one end welded on to the body.
In my plastic injection mold making, I use the bolted body construction because I frequently need to limit the stroke to exacting dimensions using the "bottomed out" feature. I can't rely on the stroke NOT being exceeded so I cut them off to limit the stroke to avoid damage to the plastic injection molds.
This is a picture of the type of cylinder I used in my hydraulic boxblade modification. I got this one on eBay for $40.
You can saw off the ends and make them whatever you want.
