Rear shock relocation

I still have the mounts on my frame for shocks. What is the big difference in angle for a bagged truck. I have recieved my Doetsch Tech shocks for slammed vehicles, can't I just mount them back to the mounts? I've seen the relocator kit, but it doesn't look like they are any different than the stock. What's the word people??

Re: Rear shock relocation

The relocator moves the mount forward so the shock is more vertical. When your turck is lower than stock, the shock is tilted, so it doesn't work as well.

From what I understand it's not manditory, but recomended for better performance.
