I need to beef up my rear suspension, any tips?

[ColinSiR]

I got a 08 m8 and last week Im pretty sure I crapped out the fox shock. Im pretty much bottomed out all day witch doesnt help cause I start floating on my running boards and that cant be good.
anyone know what I should do? Im 300lbs and I want to do it right the first time. what should I do with my shock?? go to a coil? Can I get my fox rebuilt to withstand my wieght all day??? Ive never screwed with suspension so Im a noob on this topic

NEXTECH on this sight can rebuild for you and your weight for a good price

If your willing to spend some money convert over to a z bros coil over shock. Way better than any modified fox air shock

Thats debatable, my friend had z bros i had fox float with nextech air canister and Brandt valve update, preferred fox float. My bud is a bigger man preferred z bros. Nextech update was $550. Zbros was more than double. both improved ride.

I amd 280 with all my gear on and went with the Z-Bros on my M1000 and love it for 500 bucks it cost me. They set it up for your weight before the ship it. just my 2 cents

For the guys with the Z Bros. Did you have to adjust the shocks after you got them? I like my shocks and have barely rode with them but I think that they can be better than where they are right now? If you have adjusted them, what is the best way to do it?

Haven't had to adjust mine yet, best would be to call ZBros

Im a fan of Zbros as well!! I am 250 plus gear and pack and had Zbros "setup" my shock before they shipped it. I still had to adjust the spring rate and dampening to my preferences which I completely expected to have to do. Night and Day difference over the float, I love the Zbros rear shock!

Factory valving is a joke! Try a revalve at ANY place and I bet you'd be pleasently surprised!
