    Take a look at Speedway's drag-link style steering arm.

    Go here: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/xq/asp...qx/product.htm

    They show two arms, one @ 6 1/4" and the other at 7 3/4".
    The shorter one does look like yours.
    Not sure if Speedway is measuring overall length or from spindle mounting surface to tie rod end center.
    If the overall length of your steering arm is the same or close to the longer Speedway arm a swap to the shorter arm could do it.

    The real simple answer and the cheapest one to do is to remove the present shock mounts, cut them at an angle and perhaps a touch shorter to pull them toward chassis center and reinstall so the shock is tilted inward at the top a little more.

    The pic below shows my 31 - with Vega cross-steer fwiw - and where the top of the shock sits.
    The shock mount is a SoCal fwiw.
    Pointed out to show about where the upper shock eye should be for drag-link type steering.
