On the front shock would it work better to mount the lower shock tower out farther or in closer.Will the angle of shock make it softer or harder?

If you move it inward , it should be softer (more leverage to compress the spring). This will also raise the ground clearance and reduce the amount of travel. Moving it outward , will cause the opposite affect of moving it inward!

Thanks bro that was kinda what I was kicking around.Early last year I made a bracket lift bringing the shock up and out and it just felt a little stiffer to me.I bought some Ridin dirty a arms a while back and i'm going to install them this weekend[forgot to tell them to leave tabs off so i'm going to make me a new set to move them inboard insted of moving them out.
