i understand in 2002 the redesigned the rear end of the X and took out some of the Leafs in the spring pack. is this true?

With those of you riding on a 2002+ with shackles do you have any regrets? Is the ride really bouncy or is it sagging? i plan on towing a little but its just a Boston Whaler, not a heavy boat. i would also like to get new shocks in the back that are at least 10% stiffer than stock... i basically am looking for first hand knowledge on this products pros and cons from experience...

i know this is talked about a lot, and i did search, but nothing really answered these questions as much as i would like.

Thank you for any thoughts..
