Load-monitoring sensor proximate to a shifting device

A downhole tool, comprising:

• a shifting device;
• a first load-monitoring sensor positioned above the shifting device, wherein a first distance between the shifting device and the first load-monitoring sensor is less than or equal to about 10 m,
• a second load monitoring sensor positioned above the shifting device, wherein a second distance between the shifting device and the second load-monitoring sensor is less than or equal to about 10 m,
• wherein the first and second load-monitoring sensors are configured to measure an amount by which a load on the downhole tool changes in response to the shifting device contacting a restriction in a wellbore,
• wherein the load comprises an axial tension load, an axial compression load, a rotational load, or a combination thereof;
• and
• a body having a bore formed axially-therethough and first and second recesses formed in an outer surface thereof,
• wherein the first load-monitoring sensor is positioned at least partially within the first recess, and
• wherein the second load-monitoring sensor is positioned at least partially within the second recess.
