i ran the nut all the way up the bolt and screwed the bolt in place of the original.

now the bolt hits the beam b4 the tire hits the shock mount.

the nut functions as a jam nut; tighten it while holdin the bolt in place to secure the caliper bracket. been runnin like this on mine for +50K and no problems.
as a testament to the adjustability, when i went to a 5/7 drop from a 3/4, i also changed tires from 235/60's to 245/50's. the added width put my tires against the lower shock mount once again. a couple twists of the bolt, and retightening the jam nut, and i was back to full turns w/o rubbing! :hug:
