I can't recall exactly what I did there, but changing the standard hardware is
a good place to start. The fatter the purchase on the shock side the better.
I think I used a grade8 hard washer to grab as much of the shock as possible
under the bolt head. I think an allen head bolt might provide a better
purchase for tightening, or I ground down a 9/16" socket to better fit the bolt
head. I think I used a longer bolts too. Adding another nut to lock things is
place. If I get a chance, I'll take a good look at what I did and get back to
you. The frame mount can get worn out of round too, if it's been loose a few
times.
