I am assembling a new chassis for a 52 Chevy pickup. I am having trouble finding a coilover that fits the bill. I am looking for the wisdom of others who have gone before me. I have a set of Strange coilovers for the front. No matter which direction I mount the shock, the shock collides with either the lower control arm or the frame-mounted upper coilover/shock mount. I will include 2 sets of pictures, one where I connect the shock at the lower control arm and then cannot attach the upper mount. The other, where I start by connecting the upper mount and then the shock cannot be moved into position to connect to the lower control arm because it is constrained by the upper mount (4 pictures in all). I prefer to NOT grind the upper frame mount to obtain the required clearance. I would prefer a different shock/coilover where the eyelet-to-base is a little longer and perhaps where the diameter of the largest part of the shock/coilover is a little smaller diameter. I tried to find out if remote reservoir coilovers might be a little thinner and also if there might be an option to have a little longer eyelet. I welcome a dialogue with any of you Stovebolters who might help me solve this dilemma. Many Thanks!
