By the time you buy the shocks and air compressor, you have nearly $1000 in the system. May as well buy the Arnott system which looks like a better deal, overall.

Yes, I have. they ride quite nice. A good mix of definite improved ride quality with the flexibility of height/bottoming control. What seems best is that when fully extended they aren't firm like other brands are, yet, when fully lowered, they aren't mushy either, like other brands seem to be. For the price, you can't beat them.

Just wondering what kind of height adjustment can u get out of these shocks and still have a comfortable ride, I would like to get 1.5" lower, and i am not really crazy about he electric pump anyway you can run the stock air shock system with these shocks.

Yup, see my message a few threads down.

you get about 3" of height adjustment, plus a really decent ride for $500. can't beat em. there is also an optional compressor kit for that "cool factor" and ease of adjusting, though they are low volume chambers so they pump up and down with a hand pump quite easily.
