they ride very nice
most times i just run right over places i used to slow down for
both dips and jumps
i would rate the stock shocks a 4 maybe
these a 9 because maybe i could improve them some more

how much travel before and after?the shocks look like thay have a long stroke.
does the suspension have any droop when you are sitting in the buggy or does it sit at the top of the suspension?it will ride better if its ride hight sits at around 30 or 40% of travel like a car or truck.

Roysheepdog, how's your project coming along? Seems to me you were stretching your buggy out or something.
