ya definitely ill take the bed off before I come up cause I viewed the pictures and see were the upper part of the shock mounts to and that angle the rear shocks are mounted works well better then factory ? is the stock mount for the rear shock on control arm still factory location ?

 

[jak9922]

the lower is stock location and it is night and day difference they feel the same a the factory fox shock on the wildcat trails

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!

the trail has more travel but i think the compression and rebound feel about equal

It looks like you increased the angle of the shocks, is that part of what improves the ride?
