Front shocks bind after drop

This is a pic of my front suspension, its lowered with 3 inch drop lower control arms and 2 inch drop springs. As you can see from this pic my front shocks are in a bind. What are you guys doing about this on your trucks? does someone make an aftermarket upper shock mount to cure this problem?
I am going to change the front suspension around a bit, I have since purchased a set of 3 inch drop spindles and plan on putting the stock springs back in this should give me a 6 inch front drop and put the suspension at less of an angle, right now the upper control arms are pointing up and the tie rods are going up hill from the center link to the spindles, I may or may not need to address the shock bind after the new spindle and stock springs, What do you think?
