I was following a lifted, new(ish) Chevy Silverado today and something looked odd. The Left rear shock was (as expected) behind the rear axle. The right shock, was in FRONT of the axle.
Is this a normal setup?

Tes it is. Most of the shocks I have seen for the last 65 years are that way. I don't remember but when I was in high school class they told us why but I don't remember. It was nothing worth remembering because all I was going to ever do was replace them, not engineer them.
My new 2009 F-150 and my replacement new 2013 Ram-2500 were both that way. I looked under a half-dozen pickups pulling RV, and all were that way, across all three us manufacturers.
Never asked why. I assumed, which was probably a bad idea, that the company engineers knew what they were doing.
