The adapter. But it would be opposite, so the shock bottom would swing outboard. Not this one, but one like it.

The other shock mount. Obviously it would replace the existing one, but it would move the hole outboard by almost 1/4"

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

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

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.

I dont know what I was thinking. I should have aligned it the other way. I can fix it, with a little work.

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.

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