This was a possible concern of mine as well, but I just put my new shocks (KYB Exel-G) on a few days ago and everything lined up nicely. The saving grace is that our upper mounts are a stud and not a double tab. The stud allowed the lower shock eyelet to rotate slightly forward (I only moved my LCA .75"), and the lower bolt went right in with no issues. It fit just like stock.

It might become an issue if you go more than .75". Maybe?
