I hear ya about all that shit on the drivers side. I moved alot of stuff throught-out the whole engine compartment, which made this shock location easier to get to. But it turned out the same as the pass side.
I got some chromoly tubing that was the perfect size to slip the shock bolt into. Then welded them together.
Put the bolt in the lower control arm and mount the shock. Collapse the shock, and move it to about where it will sit when the truck is layed out. this is where you'll need to put your upper mount.
In this picture you can see the angle that the shock mount is leaning. I put a gusset made out of tubing on the outside, that runs down the frame alittle.
Hope this was helpful.
