You discredit Gabriel shocks. Do you know the dampening rates on either the Gabriel's or the KYB's? Please share with us.

Agreed, shocks have no effect upon spring rates, but they DO affect the rate at which the suspension will compress or rebound. A firm shock will provide greater resistance to these motions than a softer shock and, in some cases, that may be enough.
In this case, however, two fingers clearance seems tight to me. If it were my car I'd be looking at: a) increasing the ride height; b) lowering the tire height; c) firmer springs; or d) some combination of these.
