Shock Canting

[karstic]

I am setting up the rear shocks. The lower mount is built into the spring plate, the upper mounts are being tied into the cage.

Here is the shock at full compression

and full extension

Should the shocks be canted forward or is the current orientation ok?

You're actually better tilting them back a bit like you have them. You want to be 90* at bump for maximum efficiency. If you notice, your axle actually swings backwards on compression because of the shackle. You're good just like that.
