Re: rear shock set up

Here's mine (bad picture, all I've got of the shocks)

I want to redo my rear shock setup as well.  I shouldn't have welded the shock mounts to the top of the housing.  They should have been welded to the rear of the housing (extra couple inches could have helped get those shocks more vertical).

a buddy of mine told me to not do that- fear of catching rocks on your shock shaft or denting the can. but i guess its the same amount of risk as having them on top and having the front tires kick back a rock on high speed dirt road driving.
does that dampining percentage include mounting your shock perpendicular to the axle but leaning back on the frame?
