For shocks to dampen correctly they should be mounted at equal angles in opposite directions ala factory setup. One side from axle forward and the opposite from axle aft. Notice the changes from 1st gen to 2nd gen trucks. Better ride quality on 2nd gen and later. 1st gen style /\ are less efficient. No amount of verticle shock angularity will prevent axle wrap. Ladder bars, traction bars, kicker shocks, and spring under setups help.
