The lower A-arm. These two bars wont allow the shock to go through. If I move the upper outboard, itll be impossible.

The upper shock mount needs to be almost exactly where the tab on the left needs to be. Im an idiot. I didnt account for the spacers needed to clear the axle tubes.

How it sits now, with everything as I originally mounted it. I might want to lower the rear a touch. I might even lower the whole truck for special occasions.

Where the upper mount needs to be, at a minimum. A notch will give me an option of a higher location, and more clearance.

This shows the upper and lower. I would like the lower to mount in the middle hole, to allow more adjustment.
