The first race with it like that it broke 1 rear shock and cracked both upper shock mounts. I was always under the impression that with them angled downward it would leave harder. I do know that front and rear ride height can really effect weight transfer.

if you tore up shocks and or brackets,, you were most likely either bottoming out or topping out the shock itself
