Rear King shock reservoirs

I need some help, I have a 1st gen and I’m trying to install my Kings but they don’t fit. They don’t have the clearance because of the way the reservoirs are mounted onto the shock. Can’t be mounted the way I have them in the picture because the hose fitting hits the support bracket for the bed. If I flip them the other way the reservoir hits the frame. So I think I have to mount them with the hose pointing towards the back, but to do that I need to move the reservoir towards the inside of the truck away from the frame. Anyone know how to do that?

 

Is cutting a notch in the support member an option to clear the fitting?

 

Unfortunately we don't have much experience with those shocks/truck to give better advice, but I would not hesitate to call King and see what they say. Those shocks are side specific
