S10 swap question, rear shock mounts.

Got a question on my rear shock mounts. I'm using a SWB s10 frame for my swap and just finshed up moving my rear axle back 8". My question is what did ya'll do for your rear shock mounts. I threw my shocks on just to see how they would sit and they are at about a 5 degree angle towards the back of the truck. I have to build a new cross memeber in the rear anyways and thought about making new mounts but could I just use these stock mounts and not have to move them? My concern is how rough the ride would be with the shocks being so straight up and down. I also plan to haul things and pull my 15ft flat bottom around. If you have pics of your setup or any advice, please feel free to share them. Thanks!

Here's how my shocks sit with the stock upper mount and the rear axle moved 8" back.
