I've got a set of offset bushings on order, and trying to wrap my head around which way to orient them to slacken/steepen the angles. On their website FAQ, they show both bushings set so the eye to eye is reduced as being slacker/lower. https://www.offsetbushings.com/pages/how-they-work (I know they don't recommend/support using them in "reverse" to steepen angles, but I know people here have done that without issue as long as the shock doesn't rotate much, and you keep an eye on them.)
So if you orient both outwards, that should steepen things? And if you do just one bushing with the holes inward/outward, that should do half the change?
When I try to visualize it, it seems to me that if you put the hole further away from the shock, it would make the front triangle sink closer to the rear end, getting slacker. And if you made the hole closer to the shock, it should push the front triangle away. Why is this incorrect?
