It does look like the lower brackets are close to my wheels. My rear wheels are 18x10.5 and there is about .75 inches between the bracket and tire.
This is a pic of the bushings that need to be used on the shock eyelets so the 1/2" bolt can be used.
And here is a pic of the shock bolts that Ridetech provided. The one on top was provided by Ridetech and is 2.5 inches long. It worked but didn't provide enough thread engagement for my likeing so I got some grade 8 bolts that were 2.75 inches long. These worked out prefectly!!
