I can't get myself to outboard shocks. It looks silly when they're angled.

Looks fine to me, the angle is not much or particularly noticeable, and many vehicles have angled shocks.

I'm having the same torque twist issue. Constantly leans to the driver side as I'm moving forward. Forgive the newbie question, what does "overboard" the rear shocks mean?

outboard. means to mount them OUTside of where they are usually inside at the bottom mount on the axle. last pic on page 1 shows a perfect example.
