Yeah, sorry. I see what you mean. But if the rear suspension is really bad, you do have acres of room to modify the bottom shock swinging-arm mount position. You could relatively easily move it forward and down to retain the same ride height, but enabling the swinging arm to have a greater mechanical advantage over the shock. You could do this with a plate which bolts between the original swinging-arm shock mount at one end, and has a new shock mount at the other, as well as a means of stopping it rotating (possibly a bolt through the swinging-arm cross member. This would be a cheap fix I would use if the rear suspension was as bad as mine was initally, but I had your mounts. Just a thought.
