My 1st mistake was to not get my own measurement for the mount to frame. It should have been 6" not 5-5/8".(blue arrow in the 1st pic and yellow in the 3rd) My 2nd mistake was to drill my shock mounting holes at 1" not 3/4" from the end (yellow arrow) which caused the head of the mounting bolt to get in the way of the shock . So I grabbed a 7/16" bumper bolt to mount the rear of the bracket to the frame.
