most people just pack the gap with washers.
you can upload photos to your archive by clicking on 'photo archive' above then using the 'choose file' and
'upload' buttons.

Are the shocks rose jointed or rubber bushes
If they are rose jointed you will need to fit sidespacers to allow the rosejoint to function, this will take up a bit of space either side, you might
need a washer or two to complete the job.
Be aware also that most rosejointed shocks take a 1/2in unf bolt rather than a 12mm one, you may need to open the holes out slightly in your
chassis/wishbone mounts

Washers in that situation are perfectly acceptable for IVA I would think

Could you not cut down/turn off some crush tubes?
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.
