Even if it didn't work that great in the maro - it would be different!
They did that on leaf spring cars to help control spring wrap up.
Before the advent of UMP modifieds running birdcage setups on their rear axles as they do now,we use to see a lot of staggerd shock setups with the left side spring and slider on the front side and the shock on the back side and vise versa on the right side. Don't know for sure what their doing nowdays other than looking like their gonna turn over,just like the Latemodels.
