Hey guys,

What kind of suspension mods are good for heavier riders? I mainly trail ride, but I got into power lifting when I was younger and am pretty big. I weigh about 240 and I have adjusted the stock suspension about as firm as it will go and I still bottom out on some jumps. Most of the after market shocks I have looked at are rated for lighter riders. So guys, where should I start and with which manufacturers? Thanks for your help!!!

Any of the aftermarket shock companys can make a shock for your weight! We have a customer that is some kinda world champion weight lifter that bought a set of Elka's from us and he weighs over 300lbs. He said his they solved his problem!
