I also run with my drive shafts nearly level.. I have found that the pounding your shock mounts take (screws etc) is a lot more dependent on proper oil pressure in your shocks than anything else. If your shocks bottom out too easy, then the mounts and screws are going to take a terrible beating..

Proper oil pressure doesn't refer to 'oil weight', it is how much additional oil is in the shocks to increase the pressure against the piston as it is compressed. You want your shocks to be very hard to bottom out. This will help quite a bit.

If you can, try switching to the Atomic Carbon shock mounts for the DB-01. They are fantastic and you can install the screws in the same fashion as the 501X/511X making the shocks much easier to remove and work on.
