Can't you run those shocks upside down? Would that give you the clearance you need?

The shocks are mounted in the original factory locations. The link shows the shocks I'm using & the configuration.

The shocks in the link have been mounted on the rear for many years. The AFCO catalog list them for the rear on 1970-1981 Camaro, our car is a 1980. I called them 1st before ordering. I also checked our shock boxes & they have that part # also.

Page 22 has the listing for applications in the link.

We received the TBM wheel spacers today, 2 pairs. My mistake when I placed the order!

I might return the other set & get a pair of .125 thick. I have to take some measurements to see if the thinner ones will work.

The spacers solve the problem of the shock adjustment shaft hitting on the beadlock ring bolt heads. I still don't have the room to run the adjuster knob on the shafts.
