Axle travel.

Does the axle travel the same path on a leafer as opposed to a coiler?

I notice that leafers have a vertical shocker, whereas the coiler has them at an angle. As I'm using defender shock mounts on a parabolic leafer, can I mount them vertically, one angled each way, or both forward, or what? I think a coiler has a more distictive arc than a leafer, which seems to be almost vertical.

Coiler ones travel in an arc defined by the control arms, so the front pivots around the hockey sticks, the back goes with the A-frame & trailing arms.

Series are defined by the leaves, so as the spring compresses, the axle moves back and vice-versa. LWB's have angled rear shocks anyway.

Which coiler mounts are you using?
