The main reason people move the shocks is to alter the handling. Often bump control is improved as is the grip on and off power. This is due to two factors. Firstly you are moving quite a significant weight about an inch or so back on the chassis (and from the front to the back of the diff). Also if you don't adjust for it, droop is reduced by about 1mm (depending on how much antisquat you are running. The more asq the more the droop reduction). This decreases weight transfer to nose on deceleration.
