'79 K5 2" Shackles Fuel Filler Solutions

Hey guys I'm going to be putting the 2" drop shackles on the rear of my blazer tomorrow. I'm trying to brainstorm a solution for the fuel filler neck issue. I have used the search but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. So the question is, what did you guys do to move the fuel filler out of the way? Lmk. Thanks.

A friend cut mine and welded in a curve to clear the drop shackle. It worked out well, still fills like normal.

Could you post a pic of your fuel filler modification?
