Of course, whether angle is positive, parallel, or negative, it still takes equal stress. But bump stop riding is never a good thing, especially if you're taking a huge jump, because there's basically no travel to work with, whether it's a tall shock or not. Just hope that by adding pressure to the shocks and opening up the dampening a bit will save the landing and not blow out seals or caps left and right.
Regardless, I agree with Aaron. It's his choice since it's his truck, and there's no problem with it. Just pointing out something.
