Why not have someone that welds install the shocks in a more upright position? I agree most shock kits show them installed at an angle.
I thought about that and do have a welder/fabricator I've worked with in the past but then it really becomes an issue of finding the correct length shock absorber to fit the new brackets.
Did you happen to check the link I provided in my OP? It provides the more upright position but does it from inboard of the frame. Looks very cool but it does cost $600. It is something I could install on my own which is nice. I think I'm just trying to talk myself into justifying the cost.
Some shocks are not in the vertical position. They are placed to provide the best dampening effect on the suspension and may be at an angle.
