The orientation of the shock mounts have been designed to induce the least amount of bind for that style of shock mounting.
I am assuming that lolife99 is planning on installing an adjustable long track bar and a rear sway bar. Both those items will reduce the amount of bind from the lower shocks mounts as they will actively reduce how much the axle articulates.
In suspension design every component's placement is a compromise between what helps, what hinders, and what is feasible under the design limitations.

Those pics are from Tinworks Fabrication’s website.
I always do the long track bar to the passenger side trailing arm and standard shock relocator.
