Can rolling sleeves be mounted at an angle or do they need to be straight up and down through their entire travel? I will only need a slight angle (5 - 10 deg) to get it where i need it. I am working on a VW bug so some of you can imagine what it is like trying get air bags with shocks set up on the rear end of one of those. The wheel wells are already tubbed and I have done alot of fabrication on the pan and body to fit all this in properly. I just want to do this right. Thanks for any info.

They really need to be mounted straight up and down. Otherwise when you deflate it, it will fold over itself.

How about when its inflated? I can mount it to where it is straight when deflated and at a slight angle at ride height. Would that be ok? Or does it absolutely need to be straight the entire time?

That can handle some misalignment, but I' m not sure exactly how much.
