Thought i might open this up for some of your ideas and reasons .
The best spot for the shocks , these are valved for a GQ , so i should be able to mount on a 25 deg slope and still have decent damping as the thing will be only 50% of a Gq wieght . HOPE x Fingers ect!

id say mount it the first way if
the tire when stuffed up dosent rub on it (if you get what i mean)
also there should be less binding in shock eyes (i think
)

I am running 80 series rear shocks on the back of my Zuk at a similar angle to your second shot .. Its stays nice and "tight" at speed (helps with keeping the zuk a bit stable in corners" and still seems to flex quite OK at crawling speeds ..

just gotta hope the eyes can flex enough ,should be right.
Ill pull the spring on one side and re check.
Thank for your input guys
