Does anyone run Walker Evans shocks with stock tires? If so, how do you like the ride?

Ride will be great! Better than a stock shock so just buy them!
Welcome from Michigan
And ….
PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!
I'm waiting for my W.E. shocks. Looking forward to them. The power steering unit is a must. Love it. When my W.E. shocks come in I'll mount torque locker at the same time. 520 perfect rig for my location, steep, sandy, rocky, Mountains to high desert. It's not a Baja racer. but perfect for our 50" trails.
Just ordered the front W.E. shocks. I called in, they are great to work with. W.E. answered all my questions and NO pressure to buy the rear. He did stress the shocks would take along time to build. At this time they do not have all the parts needed to build them. I forgot how many weeks he said it would be, if I get them before May I will be happy.
i'm still waiting on my W.E. shocks. Ordered them in 1st of August 2021. I inquired via customer service email.
My next move is to mount a glove box, W.E. shocks, spare tire mount & tire on roof, torque locker. But my rigs is inside a storage container at camp, buried in snow. The 520 is perfect for our scene here in California on 50" width trails. Happy New Year.

I hope the parts are not sitting out in the ocean in a big container.
Just got the front shocks today. It will be sometime in April when they will be installed.

Let me know how you like them. I have a full set on order. BTW, I thought the springs were supposed to be Silver now?

HA! Honda's aren't plush!
Baaaa ha ha . I have stage 2 WE shocks on my Pioneer 500 and they are a huge improvement over stock shocks .Super plush ?
I have Weller Racing suspension on my Talon , WOW , huge improvement over stock . Plush ?
I guess plush is a relative term . I wouldn't call either of them plush .
Worth the $$$$$ , again relative . IMHO YES WELL WORTH THE $

No idea about running them with stock tires, but I wouldn't consider them plush. They are a pretty good improvement over stock, however. I'm still messing around with the settings on mine, but they seem to work better the harder you run them.
We seemed to notice that they allow for a bit more articulation than the stockers as well. Off-camber rutty transitions seemed easier than I remember when stock. It had a tendency to flex over these areas versus teetering on 2 wheels with the stock shocks.
If you crank the low speed compression damping way down, it might allow for a softer ride, but not in Tennessee where I just tested them.
