I'm going to be building up a heckler in the next couple weeks and am trying to decide which rear shock option is best for me. I weigh about 210 lbs. and have always ridden on coil sprung bikes. Older air shocks that I rode never seemed to take a beating like a coil shock could, but I imagine the technology has gotten better over the past few years. I also want to try to keep my heckler semi-light, so was wondering if any other large guys out there have tried running air shocks on their hecklers and how they liked it. Also, is one air shock a better match for this frame than another? I'm looking at a frame with the 5th Air on it, one with a Fox air (not the DHX) and also a couple with a 5th Coil. I ride pretty aggressively, so which shock would be a better choice?
