Mounting the shocks vertical and as far out to the wheels is the most ideal set up. Most of the time you see them angled in, this allows you to use a shorter travel shock but still have plenty of or more axle movement. Here at Ridetech we don't like to go more than 30 degrees over. As soon as you start to lay them over at an angle the effectiveness diminishes, the farther over, the more it diminishes. The adjustable shocks have an obvious advantage here over a fixed valve shock, but it all comes down to each application and what will work best for your situation and driving style.
Thank you sir.
