Exactly.

It is very hard to notice a difference on a 4000 lb. truck, but it is noticable on motorcycles and race cars.

My only concern with mounting them inverted is the shock canister hitting the frame under extreme articulation (especially near the swaybar mount on the passenger side). Keep an eye on that area if you do run them inverted.
