Shim!

Hello! I'm doing my first tour in a couple weeks across Utah's West Desert and I have a question. So, I've got a Surly Ogre with Salsa Down Under racks and they didn't quite fit. So, a ton of spacers and some really long reflector bolts later, I got them to fit around the fork, but now I'm worried about the bolts shearing. I'll post pics when I've got 'em, but does anyone have a heavily-spaced setup, and what's been your experience with it? The road we'll be traveling is dirt/gravel with a few 2k ft climb/descents.
