- In a word, yes. Angling the shock forward does reduce its efficiency. The resistance of the dampner ( shock), which is used to dampen the oscillation of the springs during compression and rebound, i

- Harlan, thanks for your detailed reply. I understand what you mean about the tube shock/spring rebound rate. I wonder however that since the shock(s) were not really designed to operate in this plane

- Hmmm, in my experience, if you look under the rear of *most* cars you will find that the shocks are not exactly vertical (at least live axle setups, not IRS). Especially those jacked-up 4x4s, they of
