Shock and Swinger Question

[python952]

I have an Axis Double rate rear shock valved for a 200Lb rider, and i weigh about 160lbs. If i get an extended swinger would it make the shock feel better or worse? or should i just get the shock revavled right away?

Depending on how it rides now and how much you plan on extending the swingarm will dictate what will happen. A longer swinger adds leverage to the shock, therefore what will happen is the shock will be softer and more prone to sag and bottom out. Your best bet it to send the shock into a place like Precision Concepts and have them revalve to your weight, type of quad and length of swingarm as well as the type of riding you do. That will allow them to tailor the shock's performance to your needs.

Hope that helps.
