That's what I was thinking....

These buggies ride at the top of the shock stroke... in other words, the springs are too heavy and even the drivers wait does not "load" the spring. You need to be riding on a loaded shock, just like in cars. If you raise a car on a hoist the shocks decompress and the tire hangs lower than it's riding position.

Loaded shock = good dampening = happy back.
