They seem to land better and keep the buggy riding higher in the stroke. At the same time they dont seem to go through the bumps as well and you have to keep tabs on your shock rebound because it changes more with temperature changes. They are also a little more difficult to bleed the shocks when they get swollen because they cover the little hole in the cap from the oil getting out.

With that said I use them in my truggy most of the time and like them but also keep an eye on them with the temp changes.
Thanks for the info! Do you have an FB? Pm if you do!
