Default Question about rear shocks

Just out of curiosity !

I noticed that most trucks (Ford, Chevy, Dodge and Toyota) have rear shocks that are mounted facing different directions. ( The right one is in front of the axle, and the left one is in the back of the axle )

I wonder why that is ?

Any of you knowledgeable folks has the answer ?
