For the original question, for a softer ride, try a banshee front shock, 400ex front shock, or a 2001 raptor rear shock. All of those are supposed to be softer than the 300ex rear shock.

my mod budget is tite i only payed like 8 bucks for this shock so im keeping it another shock is out of the question right now but would putting the 250 spring be doable and would it help?

I dont think you could put the 250 spring on. The 300 shock is a lot wider than the 250 shock.
