I have a question about Fox shocks

I am looking into buying the fox shocks with the piggy back. My question is what does the compression dampener do for the shocks? Do I need them, or should I get the ones without the compression dampener? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i would spring for it, if it was me........

but if it was me i would save my self a few hundred bux and get some foa shocks....you would need bar pin eliminators but it would still run ALOT less money...

heck i would get the threaded body coil-overs and run them with out coils so i was set to upgrade later

but that is just me.......

on edit, the 12in version should fit yours fine and give a obscene amount of flex
