I have the same shock setup and it is great!
On slow rockcrawling trails you'll find that you are no longer bouncing off the seat ! The suspension actually works! My riding friends comment that the rops aren't swinging back and forth going up the rough trails....They can see the suspension doing its job. The tires stay planted like they should...Which helps with the open front end we have.
I use my friends Trail 700 limited occasionally.It has the Fox (non-piggyback).I don't know about being as good a ride....But it is light years better than stock.
You Will be impressed when you take Jak's for a spin!
