So do the brackets reduce the load the shocks pot onto the chassis bracket? That was my understanding but I was not !00% sure I understand the purpose of them.

the relocation brackets reduce the stress on the mount big time allowing the shock to move in a more suitable plane ( the bottom of the shock is turned 90 degrees with the brackets
with a lifted jim in particular the springs touch the shocks without the bracket. a good dose of off road and somethings gonna break.
as standard the shock is positioned at an angle on the bottom mounting bolt. excess axle articulation usually results in broken bolts but all the pressure will stress the mounts too.
i'd recommend for any off road jimny
