Maybe I'm missing it but did you factor in the 1/8" plate thickness into your calculation as well? Edit: Nevermind, the threaded portion will go through the 1/8" plate and leave you 1/2". Just kidding.....
As long as you can bottom out the shoulder on the frame rail, you can always use a washer or some sort of spacer to take up the room underneath the head of the bolt.
