    So with that setup you still have angle back then the /\ angle so two angles twisting the shocks and thats what you don't want.

    Then you need a shorter shock and they will be so close that the only purpos they will fill is up travel.

    i don't see how angling them back and then /\ will do that if you just twist the shock mounts..
