Am i correct?

Another thing i noticed is that the TLR's have the shock on the back of the rear arm in midmotor and in the front for rearmotor....i know this is a possible mod for the durango but i cant find a solid explination of what the benefits/drawbacks are.
Fred can steer you in the right direction for MM. I think you need a more balanced setup which doesn't change handling based upon grip level.

But having the shocks in the rear, is like having more weight in the rear, which helps the car rotate better in high traction, kinda like a pendulum. Having it in the front of the arm, moves the weight forward, less of a pendulum affect.
