Just put the Setrab in a different place. Mine is horizontal to the fram and just in front of the axle. I did have to have mounting straps fabricated since I didn't use the stock ones.

Gentlemen, 

Wow, those suggestions sound great and very much appreciated!!! 

I should have mentioned in my first post that we did try to install both the Setrab oil cooler and filter side by side against the wall in the left rear wheel a number of times (along with the plumbing); however, even after our final attempt the fit was still so tight we ran shy by about one (1) inch for the rear tire to clear the lower edge of the cooler when turning a corner in the road or hitting a bump. 

Well, because of your help I've rented a car lift for tomorrow and feel sure we can come up with an alternative solution to solve the problem.  

My thanks to each of you for your kindness and support,

The location of my cooler has been perfect. Safe from stones, good airflow, up out of the way so it won't hit anything, and the filter stays in the wheel well. I couldn't be happier with it.

My earlier post should have read, "it's horizontal to the frame" not "fram". If you're interested and need more/better photos let me know.
