See this is what happens around here when you try to help someone. It all depends on how you lower the car. If you use lowering blocks between the differential and the leaf spring all you are doing is moving the rear up higher in the chassis. The shock mount plate stays in the same position.
So maybe you should be more specific about what exactly you are doing and on what.

EM - You might want to crawl under your car to visualise things and recheck your statement. The shock plates (and springs) get lowered the same amount the body is (Lowering blocks go in-between rear axle and leafsprings+shock-plates). In short, it's only the rear axle that ends up higher 'in' the body/suspension, everything else stays the same. edit: Tree'd by the Guitar man

And some simple math (trig) would show it would take a considered distance to change the slant angle of the shock significantly
I'd be surprised if it's even possible to lower enough to come anywhere near 30deg.
