    is it normal for shocks to be tilted at different angles.

    my back ride side is tilted forward. vise versa for the left.

    Yeah...don't sweat it.

    On my 96 tacoma, I remember one of them going out towards the rear and the other one going up towards the front. You had to actually order two different size shocks (if I remember correctly).
