Giving my truck a look-over today and noticed this.

So, apparently 2" isn't enough clearance from shock to anti-wrap bar mount. To be honest, I don't know how long it's been this way.
Shocks are mounted on this upper shock mount. I don't know who's product it is.

I could either just add 1" spacers between the shock and mount top and bottom to move it back enough to clear, but was concerned in single shear. But, as just a shock mount it might be fine.
Or, I could move the whole upper mount back. There's room but the bumpstop is also mounted through these holes and if I went back an inch I'd loose two holes as they would be buried behind the cross tube.
Lower mounts are heavy wall square tubing that was coped and welded onto the bottom of the axle tube with a threaded insert welded into it. The shock bolts straight into it.
I think the 1" spacers would be OK but wanted opinions.
