Pogs, Goosebump books, Fruit of the loom, Spice girls, Reebok pumps......

LMAO exactly. Most guys don't like them because their buddy don't. Nice to see Doo step into the 20th century. Air shocks are like the rubber paddle tracks and spring shocks are the old plastic 2" paddles. A set of "X" package shocks with 1980's technology costs more than a pair of float R's anyway - don't know what you guys are sad about.

Guys are trying to make spring shocks ride like air, with double or triple spring rate springs now, or you can have infinitely adjustable air rates......hmmmm. adjustable ride height vs fixed. Air shocks don't sag out like springs. Easy to adjust on the hill with a few quick pumps, it takes way longer to get out the big wrenches and start raising or lowering the spring tension. Lighter than spring shocks. Only place spring shocks tend to ride a little better is on the trail and small stutter bumps. You can get a softer ride now with the floats anyways, just use the canisters and increase the air volume. LHF doesn't like them because they don't make a set to fit the wedge chassis.....

I haven't seen any tangible proof about why they are "no good", other than that specific comment. Never blown a seal, don't know what this is about other than making a mountain out of a molehill. If you are getting stuff up into the seal, you should be using the proper shock protectors (should be using them regardless IMO) and not pumping them up to 250 PSI. They require maintenance like most other high performance items, its worth the very limited extra effort though. The new 3's have an updated seal and harder coating as well, so this will likely be less of a minimal issue than it is now.
I disagree my friend. after spending a whole day trying to dial in a sno pro with fox floats I just gave up and resigned myself to the fact the thing was going to handle like a POS in anything other than a foot of fresh snow. there's a reason why these floats are only used in this application, because they are light and can function somewhat like a regular coil over shock absorber. where are all the snocross sleds that use floats? how about motocross? ATV racing? it takes longer to adjust the air in a float than it does to turn the collar on any decent coil over to adjust spring tension.

thats your problem write there!!!There is no shock/spring combo that can help a M chassis .fresh snow they float around but on the trail they are like suicide !!!
