Okay, here's the deal. I'm planning on going with some shocks from Elka http://www.elkasuspension.com and have several options.

The piggy back looks really trick, but they say that with the remote rezzy, you get more shock travel. Also, by going with adjustable compression only, you get more shock travel.

What are the pros and cons of remote vs. piggy back and how important is the adjustable rebound on a shock compared to adjustable compression?

Thanks for your opinion.

 

I should have added that I'll be using it on my Raptor for cross-country and plan on running their sag device in order to lower the ride height by about 1.5".

 

Hey bash, By getting the PiggyBack style of shock, you run the risk of getting it knocked of.. In a worst case scenario.. someone lands on your fender, and snaps it off..(not good.. been there, done that.. hospital bill) I love my shocks and they have the remote resivoirs. No matter what shock you choose, you will love them, they make so much difference. Hope you make the right choice,

 

i'd get the remotes. i think they look just as trick if not tricker than piggybacks plus they have many advantages over the piggys.
