Alright boys. I have a buddy that I ride with that's a little "bigger" (think 300+). He rides a '12 AC High Country XF1000T 141". He's finding that he bottoms that rear air shock out a lot, riding the trails. What are you bigger guys doing to "beef up" your rear suspension?

If the pressure is already maxed out on his shock he may need to look for a coil over shock.

Convert it to an evol for extra bottoming resistance.

Maybe you could add some torsion springs,, overloaders if you will.

Wouldnt be that hard to add on. The AC Snow Cross sleds still run em. Just have to get the parts.

In my head
x2 on the EVOL upgrade. Doing that myself right away. Much better adjustability.
