An average monoshock is about the size of your Savage shock except taller. Try one for size, is there enough space somewhere above and in front of the swing arm pivot?

Otherwise... big bump, monoshock compresses, upper mount snaps under all that pressure... POW! Well, let's just say that some ER doc out there is gonna have a new, "Hey, guess what happened to this poor fella" story to share.
