As I have a narrower TC than most, here are the angles of attachment for the struts;
As repeated above, they do a good job on certain road surfaces. I guess I'm used to them as I don't like the flabby way the camper handles without them. Yes, i remove them for anything non-blacktop.
Another thing is my Dodge's frame twists and contorts less than the Fords I've wheeled with. 99 and 07 SD/3/4tons) So, I can get away with less travel on the piston on the highway. In installed them per/Lance, but I think the camper end attachment is not far enough back.
regards, as always, jefe
