Well, I got some more time on the shocks today and I'm liking them more and more every time I ride. I was able to adjust them a little more today, I had a little too much pre-load dialed in and I wasn't getting the droop I wanted on the front, also when I would hit some small bumps my passenger side shock wouldn't react like I wanted. but with a quick adjustment while riding all was good.
The springs on the shocks are made for a light buggy/motorcycle/ATV... They are progressive, and if you have no pre-load dialed in you can go through the softer part of the springs pretty quick, just by sitting in the buggy I can use up about half of the travel, and this is on the front of the spiderbox.

In the pics you can see how much pre-load adjustment I did for the Driver side and passenger side in my buggy. I don't ride with a passenger much so I adjusted it to suit just me.
