found and easier solution at 5:00am this morning... I didn't have any longer shock ends so i made a little spacer out of some spare black plastic that I cut to fit... Put it in the bottom hole and used a longer hex screw and lock nut... works like a charm... turning is full lock to lock and nothing hits... the only negative is I lose a bit of shock adjustability with the bottom mount... I don't know why but I do my best thinking at 5:00am with a cup of coffee and the misses and the kids still asleep... At some time I will try and post some pics with the progress and also the new body in place... Thanks again to poor judgement and azzman for the help... by the way PJ... I like your drawing, but i already made all the axles and don't want to modify them again... looks like a good idea however and i probably would have done that if I wasn't this far into this design already...
