know anyone with a big fuck off adjustable crescent? that should work. Otherwise a big plumbers pipe crescent (stillson) will work too but it will damage it. Also Put a little locktight on the threads when you install it. Its obviously the one part keeping your shock in there :)

you might find the nut that holds the shock in, might be running out of thread or be the wrong shape for your shock, doing it up hand tight should be enough to stop the shock moving.
