We decided to move the mounts and work with a local welder to do it and not replace the leafs and shock. Your comments are extremely helpful - thank you!
Cool beans. You can always replace the springs and shock later. At least in my application with the Bilsteins ttere's a lot of leeway with the length of the shock body. Having a shock that is mostly if not more that 75% compressed for 90% of the travel and that may bottom out before springs hit the bump stop doesn't make that much sense to me.
Good luck with the rest of your trip
