Default Adjustable shocks considered stock suspension?

Like the title says, who considers aftermarket shocks with different mounting brackets stock suspension? Would still have original leaf spring suspension, just not factory shock locations.

Just replacing shocks with adjustables in the stock locations - ABSOLUTELY... unless it is in an OEM class.

Relocated adjustables would be a grey-area and would depend on the sanctioning body and how it is worded. Stock and Stock-type suspensions are two different things. Relocated adjustables would definitely be stock-type but may not meet stock rules. So for the purposes of this poll, I am going to vote no in that using different brackets will slightly change suspension geometry and how the shocks control the axle thus making it non-stock design.
