If you dont want to spend a bunch on shocks, get them revlaved by carls! First ride on my newly revalved shocks was night and day better. Only thing i might say is i might go back to the stock rts spring, im kinda on the edge for weight between the stock and their 230 spring. But the ski shocks were amazing and the big hits were way better, no jarring bottoming. They are as good if not better than the carls float evols i had on my pro. Very very happy!
Hot take on this forum but my opinion is that Carl's will get you at least on par with Fox shocks. Unless you're obsessed with suspension, just get the revalve and spend the rest of that money you saved on other stuff.
