    Are you booking for a heavier spring or a softer spring?

    I'm 220 and my stock X needs to be stiffer, but I need to be thinner....

    The RX rear 450R and 250R shock and linkage are perfect, I do bottom the front on big jumps with 20wt oil and progressive springs.

    So, I moved up to 30 wt but cannot test here unless I build a bigger jump. I'm at 40' or so when I got hurt on a simple trail ride so I have no feedback yet.


    I'm sure most of the shock re-builders can get you a heavier rated spring.

    I had the rear shock on my bike rebuilt/revalved and checked on a rear spring and he said it was a 600#spring stock and he said they dont make any springs heavyer so he changed the valving and oil weight. It made a big differance in it . And I'm a 300# rider
    If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet
