Yeah, that was my first trial . Thought of cutting that lower spring seat area totally out and moving the lower shock mount to the very bottom of the control arm then strengthening the sides but that wouldnt give me the difference I needed for those QA1 springs, plus it would be ugly.

I think for this season I will run these shocks with the OEM worn springs, then work on modifying the upper spring pocket/frame area next winter to run the QA1 as a coilover.
