IMHO and based on an analysis and testing by JK Jackson, lever arm
shocks are superior for the TR6 application. This is primarily because
of the immediacy of damping that occurs under twisting force imparted by
suspension travel. Again IMHO the degrees of movement imparted by the
trailing arm when it "swings" are not significant if the shock is
mounted in rubber bushings.
