That is true. Many Rev4 drivers have been raising the front shock mount for some time now.
FWIW I agree with Timmay, I still use the standard set up. After many seasons of popping the shock end off and on there is no play in any of the ball cups on my cars. One thing to note is that AE ball cups have a lot of play in them when brand new, and not "distorted", thats why I use RPM ball cups. I have seen pros cars with o rings on the ball studs, BTW.
I don't think there is anything wrong with Mark Payne's set up, it looks like a fine way to do the job; for me the old way is easier and quicker.
