I have a few questions to ask about extending the shock mounts and changing the angle of the shocks. On my warrior I extended the lower shock mounts further down the bottom a arm to accommodate the extra length from the raptor 350 front shocks, this was necessary because I had a ballpoint fail it's a first gen so the stock shocks were a bit shorter, when I extended the lower mounts it put the shocks at more of an angle out towards the tires does this make them stiffer? I'm considering building a new mounting bracket for the top And getting a longer set of shocks maybe raptor 660's if not I will try to find some dual rate banshee shocks. My real question is did extending the angle make my shocks a Little stiffer?
 
Yes, moving the lower shock mount out further towards the wheel would make the front suspension stiffer.
