moving shocks to center
More travel, if you use a longer 4x4 shock it is normally made for a much larger 4x4 like a crusier or a patrol .. so it's stiffer .. inboarding it gice you greater mechanical advantage over the shock effectivel softening it (exuse my spelling I have had a few )MART wrote:why

Yes guy, but it also results in very little damping from the shock on small corrugations and such as the shock travel is too small for a given amount of axle travel. The car will often feel a bit loose. The closer the shocks get together at the top, the less effect they will have on stability as well as the car tends to roll around with very little action from the shocks.
Angling a stiffer shock over to soften it up to work in a suzuki is a pretty inexact science and additionally the only way to fabricate a strong enough mount to not give you problems later on will involve cutting the floor out or doing it with the body off.
I have mounted a couple of sets of N76's in the back of sierras without anging them in very much at all, but this was with bumpstop spacers and a body lift, and on one car we raised the floor in the back as well.
Personally, I would always try and mount shocks as close to vertical as possible. In the case of a suzuki, the stock orientation seems to be about the best.
