I am ... had my shocks modified for oil/gas and refilled. I'm happy with it, little harder than standard ... but personal opinion, better. I run King Springs lowering springs, had some problems with a wrong set first time around then the 2nd set fitted, but dropped the nose to the ground and the rear had minor drop if any. Had to turn the settings to drop the rear and put a spacer in the front to bring the nose up a little.

So I am happy with this package
