Totally agree, BUT shocks dampen spring oscillation. On bags there are no "springs" per se but I still have to believe if that upper shock mount were moved up to as close to the top of the frame notch as possible the function would be exponentially better.

Looks like he might have to lightly notch the lower bag mount and since I'm not an air bag kinda guy I don't know if inflating the bag ONLY extends its length or if its diameter also grows a little. Cause if it does, it will limit how upright he can move the shock. But otherwise some VERY nice fab work.
