I am using buggy fronts in the front and buggy rears in the rear. The buggy rears are on the long side. This allows a bunch more down-travel than stock. I moved the bottom of the shocks to the farthest outside hole on the control arm, this limited the down travel to ensure there is no driveshaft binding. In the front, I am not completely happy with the setup. The front shocks are also a bit long and the shocks bottom out before the chassis does. This is just asking for trouble, IMO. I will probably make an aluminum piece to bolt to the front shock tower and raise the upper shock mount slightly, so the shocks will work better. These big shocks sure have some nice damping though.
