yes , the path of travel will be the same . but if BB gets lowered , you might need to reduce travel on the shock , otherwise your might touch the ground with pedals ??

you're right - will have to tinker. The problem I had had with this bike was a very squishy 5" on the forks at the front (some Bombers with no damping adjustment [broken]) and a relatively squishy rear shock unless wound right up (?safe). The BB was very high so I felt I was perched on top of a very tall sofa - crap handling in other words.
What I will try is shorter travel at the front (now I have some better forks) and play with the rear shock position and see what happens.
As an aside - can anybody draw up one of those animated trajectory diagnrams that might show the relative effect of the changing the position of the shock? Like this (taken from here: http://bikemart.com/page.cfm?PageID=37):

Is it possible that the 'ladder' is designed for fitting longer or shorter shocks, thus affecting the travel, rather than adjusting the mount point of the existing shock?
It strikes me that as the ladder is pretty much in the same linear plane as the shock itself, it will have little or no effect on the travel.
