curious why you made new shock mounts, could you not find a shorter shock? assuming it is lowered quite a bit.

the ride tech lower control arm shock mount would not work with the stock upper stock frame stud, so I needed to move it up and forward, shocks had nothing to do with it all about geometry.

interesting, I have installed several sets of ridetech a-arms but not on trucks so never ran into that. I am building a '66 chevy truck for a customer now but he bought all QA1 suspension including front crossmember but I have not installed any of it as I am still doing the sheet metal work on it now.
