My cousin has this problem on his truck. I wondered if a guy could adjust the stops on the knuckle to prevent it? the bad part is this would reduce your turning radius.

I had this problem on my 69 F250. PO swaped in a dana 44 and steering box from a 77 and when the arm came back the shock got destroyed. All I did was make some new lower shock mounts and welded them to the axel so that the arm would clear. It just slips by now, and haven't noticed any performance problems by changing the shock angle.
