Are you sure you want 1/8" Toe Out? (front of tire measurement wider than rear of tire) I thought I read you wanted 1/8" - 1/4" Toe In???

The best solutions are to either cut the shock brackets from the frame , flip them over, then reweld or or use the "mach brackets' for a no-weld fix. In the last pic the mounts were cut loose, rewelded higher on the frame to accomodate the longer shocks
Thanks for this, I was wondering about that with the longer shocks.
