You are just mounting shocks and not a load bearing part like a coilover. 3/16" is perfect for shock tabs. Many companies make lazer cut shock tabs for cheap. I'd go that route unless you want to make your own.
PM me and I'll link you to a place to get them.

depending on what kind of shock tabs your looking for. i could cut them on the cnc plasma.
i just got a fresh 4x8 sheet of 3/16's in..... pm me if you need a hand.

some quick measurements, that will put the shock at ~18* from the horizontal... And a static shock length of about 17.75, which will work great with the QA1 TC1661P shock i bought. The specs on the shock are extended 21.00, compressed 13.50...
so a little recap:
original:
static length 17.25 @ 48* from horizontal
lower shock extenders 17.5 @ 31* from horizontal
new bracket 17.75 @ 19* from horizontal.
I think the 19* will really make a difference in ride quality
