In one word - smooth. Tested all three settings today! 1-soft 2- hard 3- medium with high lifter bracket installed.
Soft was the best for all around riding. Bottomed them out on soft setting one time- bump stops took the hit but it was still a soft feeling bottom out. Could not bottom out in medium and hard settings. To compare to stock shocks- it felt between medium and hard setting but you could not bottom out the Foxs. I hit basketball size rocks and big roots on purpose and was amazing surprized, the FoxS ate it up. Now for the bad- the rears factories have to go! Every thing the Foxs ate up the rears spit it back at you. The rear shocks felt like you where crossing logs all day, sort of mule kicking. So I have a full set of factory shocks for sale! Already ordered the rear Foxs tonight.

For those of you that have been running aftermarket shocks for a while- you should be ashamed on not sharing the secret- you know who you are! LOL
The rears, that was what I thought would happen, front and rear are made to work together, the rears might work on a light weight trailer, auto leveling. The front stock shocks, wouldn't have a clue what to do with them. Mail box shocks?

Oh man that looks fun! Love the way that mud looks:)

The mud is great! Marshall gave me a good description of all the mud. We had....

Peanut butter
Stinky
Yellow
Slimy
Green
Slick
Deep
Etc...


Nothing like a 5 year old having a blast and riding shotgun.
