I don't have DSE's instructions in front of me, but I can't see what it would hurt to angle them a little. Regularly bottoming out on the bumpstops would be pretty harsh and I wouldn't think really good for the shocks. I would feel better if the first point of physical contact was the snubbers on the axle housing, not the shock. As I posted previously, it looks like mine have only used 2 1/4 inches of their travel and yes, my shocks are angled slightly.
