Bilstein rear shocks

I purchased a set of Bilstien shocks, and i'm having trouble with the rears.
The dust boot is bigger then the shock mount, and turret, which causes it to bind on travel.

Anyone have a solution/fix?

Hi,

I already seen that problem. The solution found was the removal of the dust cover. But this was a race car were dust isn't a big problem...

I don't know how to get around that problem in a road car... any ideias?
