I need some input on what shocks/spring weights/oil levels are good for a heavier rider. I weigh about 230 lbs. and have had some problems. I'm currently riding an Ironhorse SGS with a Fox Vanilla R which I just toasted today. I ride downhill/aggressive trails and do consider myself to be a fairly smooth rider, but heavy. Aside from losing weight, what setups work for us "husky" riders?

Thanks,

Are you talking about front or rear shock?

Either way, all you need to do is change to stiffer springs.
