I don't remember seeing any posts on the rear load adjusting shocks. Does anyone know how they work? Has anyone acutally tested them out by measuring ride height before and ride height after a heavy load has been added? Any opinions on whether they actually work or not would be appreciated. Bummer we can't use aftermarket shocks and still have their benefit.

I have tested then out many times and they were very good. Here is a video from the manufacture of our shocks.

I'm not sure if I would ever consider going to an aftermarket rear shock and lose the auto level system. They seem to be very durable and I have not bottomed them out yet.

Now, if you are a sport only rider and didn't carry much load in the back then aftermarket performance shocks may interest you. If you carry a load for additional passengers in the back, these shocks are really nice.
