My shackles like to hit the rear crossmember and I was wondering if cutting/notching the back of the spring hanger box / crossmember would effect the structural integrity.

It sure wont help.Either notch your current shackles like the other manufacturers do or buy the correct ones!

If they are hitting the crossmember than something is wrong.Clearance yours or buy some that are already clearanced or designed to fit(boomerang's).

since "boxing" tends to add structual strength, conversely i think "un-boxing" something like a suspension attachment point would seriously weaken it. if the rear is flexing so far as to actually hit that box, and not the end of the bumper bolt-like mine did, the real fix would be a boomerang shackle.

Designed to fix your problem. Don't cut the box, it will end badly.
