[QUOTE="carlson_mn, post: 1142737, member: 17400"] The fact that you're 280lbs I think that will help quite a bit with the rebound dampening right there. I've known someone to do a new spring on a Gen1 shock and he was happy with it at about 215lbs. While it may not be a 'Penske' or whatnot I think you WOULD benefit from a stronger spring on the rear of your bike at your body weight, even with the stock dampening in place. I'd turn the stock dampening up to 4 if you haven't already to keep it under as much control as you can either way. [/QUOTE]
