true but also think of it this way,

if the bag is "aligned" at your average compression point, which would be the average bump in the road or as you say it the average lowest point on the arc of travel.

then as the bag extends upwards on the rebound from the bump in the road its going to reach the top of the arc, and be way more misaligned than if it was aligned at the middle of the arc, which is ride height
