Fx & Fy:
Fx and Fy are first combined into their resultant force using trig to determine the magnitude and angle at which the force acts
angle calc’d by arctan(Fy/Fx), magnitude by sqrt(Fx^2+Fy^2)
The force applies to both sides of the clevis, as follows
Case # | Fx & Fy Magnitude | Fx & Fy Angle |
|---|---|---|
1 | 3933.996347 | 23.89416186 |
2 | 2802.581026 | 23.89416186 |

Recommendations
The Shock Clevis has plenty of room to remove material while still being strong enough to support the shocks. I would recommend removing some material from the large section between the pointing points, shown in the image below.
