Perhaps I wasn't clear above. I suggest making a shackle for the top mount, on the frame of the buggy, not the swing arm, and mount the shock more vertical. A 1" shackle may decrease your ride height by 1/2"(you stated the shocks were longer than stock), then you can decide whether you want to go further with those shocks, or they still don't do anything for you.

The other option is to have a set made to your specifications, which Works suspension can and will do, but they run about $400/pair. Other than that, ATV and sled shocks are the only other option. If you can come across a similar length shock made by Fox, Elka, Works, and sometimes Showa, you can tailor the insides and spring rate to your liking by buying different springs and valves, but you will likely spend more on a used set than to have Works make you a set.

Just food for thought, the blasters work on most of our buggies, but they are not perfect.
