The stock suspension components were problematic for me, as well.
I couldn't get along with the DPS, at all. It seemed harsh over small chatter, yet would bottom out really harshly on impacts that it shouldn't have. When climbing in open, it would seemingly sink into it's travel at really weird, unpredictable moments. I ended up replacing it with a Topaz, which provides a lot more support all around and seems to work a lot better. In retrospect, a DBCoil IL would have been another good option.
The fork, I've yet to do anything with, but the 34 is being problematic as well. It has bushing play and the rebound damping is massively insufficient. I am well below max weight at 215, yet I can't get the rebound damping slow enough, the high speed compression seems a bit soft and the HSR a bit fast. I'm not getting along with it, debating on sending it to PUSH, getting an Avy damper, or replacing it altogether. The Ribbon is an attractive option, so is the Diamond, but I'm not keen on dropping $1k on a new fork yet.
So yea, the stock suspension sortof lets the bike down, but I like it otherwise. Even with the 34 being a bit problematic, I've gotten used to it and it's manageable. I think it climbs really well, technical climbing is a lot easier on it for me because of the steeper SA. I don't feel like it bobs that badly, but I do find myself using the compression switch (which, tbf, I do with any horst derived bike).
My only other complaints are in the other thread, mainly design deficiencies in the tire clearance and cable routing, but nothing that was super important or problematic to me.
