2005 Staggered Rear Shocks

I noticed a lifted 2005 at a shop I work by, it had Staggered rear shocks. My 2004 has the 2 rear shocks both on the back side. Was this a new redesign for 2005, along with the front coils?

sure was, Im wondering if it would be more benificial to stagger the shocks on the older model superdutys. Im sure it wouldnt be too hard and probably cuts down on axle wrap.

Has anybody tried flipping one of the bottom shock brackets and seen any results?

I have a 2005 and am not entirely sold on the staggered stock set-up. Certain highway speed bump situations produce a wicked rearend step-out that I can only attribute to the staggered shocks. I believe the advantage to the set-up is on washboard or uniformly rutted surfaces.
