I've got 18inch 2.5inch air shox in the rear of my patrol and I need to strengthen the rear mounts but the problem is I would need to change the wheel base to put heavier duty mounts ( shock hoops) in otherwise it with hit the cab. I really don't want to lengthen the wheel base.
My question is can I fit them at a slight angle so there sloping slightly towards the rear of the truck at the top or will this cause some sort of problems?
I cant think of any reason why it would matter but I need reassuring.

yes but they run on an angle inwards, meaning towards the centre of the vehicle (the way the diff moves on downwards articulation) meaning that you get the full droop out of them as the diff swings down and inwards..by mounting them leaning the oopposite way you effectively shorten the shock
