Rear Shock Mounting Configuration-

Both shocks mounted forward/rearward or both on rear axle. Does it matter? I have seen it all three ways over the years. I don't want guesses but answers based on logic/fact as to why.

The 14FF I'm putting in my 69 is different than the stock fwd shock mounts. I either move one frame mount or one axle mount. Prefer to have them both forward for gas tank clearance behind the axle.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
