roger i looked at your pics in photobucket (i suggest others check them out as well!) and i really like the angle. after doing my research and some more pondering...i think the guy who was telling you to change it is not fully understanding whats going on. the closer to vertical you mount them, the stiffer they will feel. i think your angle is closer to vert than most stock vehicles, but i think in conjunction with the soft ride of air bags your suspension will work beautifully. it looks like you have very good length on your panhard rod as well. i was looking at some slammed truck suspension setups, mainly cantilever setups....and those are essentially running the shocks head on wich would have the same feel as a vertical shock on your setup. it doesnt seem to be an issue for those guys. this is all just my opinion of course!

im off to bed, later dudes!

Pete,

I am sweaty and stressed.
Off work now and going to have a (1!) frosty malt beverage.

How was your day?
