Sometimes it reduces leaks I think. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk |

Short of Comp Crawlers, I never cared for the look personally. That said, I can see there may be a slight benefit towards COG as durok pointed out. And, gravity being what it is, I'm sure it might mitigate some shock seepage as well.

If they do it because the shocks leak then they need to rebuild them correctly or get new shocks. You will never feel the CG difference in doing this. Its actually a bad thing to do with the type of shocks we use. You put your pistons in the/closer to the air pockets and weird things happen at the wrong time. | |

Surely that would depend on how much static sag you run the shocks at & whether you'd rather find the air bubbles at full compression (shock right way up) or full extension (shock upside down) | |
