Brian, I can't really help with your question; but physics says the above
statement isn't quite true. The tube shock conversions always have the
shock farther from the mount than the link for the lever shock was. So even
if the force transmitted from the suspension is the same, it has a longer
lever arm to the mount, meaning more force at the mount.
Plus, most people do the tube shock thing so they can run stiffer shocks,
which means that for any given bump/speed, there will be more force
transmitted from the suspension.
