No mate. Its got nothing to do with ride height...........that can still be where you want it.
Its about levers and moments. The movement of the rear wheel as it rides over an uneven surface, how this makes the swing arm go up and down which in turn moves the tie rod and shock.
Imagine closing a door by pushing on the outside of the door. That is easier to do than pushing nearer the hinges, but obviously takes more distance to achieve the same amount of door closure.
