you can make any suspention stiff. just by valving it on the heavy side with big springs (Heavy gauge coils). you can change the suspension by changing valving, springs, or even messing with the settings like compression and pre-load.

That's weird that you want stiff suspension. It'll be like a pogo stick. If you get a good set of aftermarket shocks setup for you, like tripe rate elkas, they aren't going to bottom alot. They'll be plush and smooth and resist bottom 100 times better than stockers.

I have Elkas as to be honest, Mine wasnt stiff enough for my liking and I had to have elka send me out a replacement. My shocks were valved too soft and I had my adj. all the way and still was too soft.

I now have ALOT more room for adjustments.
