Ks-18 shock advice for heavier riders.

Recommended Posts

So I am a heavier rider at 250 lbs (113 kilos) and I want to change my shock on my KS-18s. I just feel like the stock shock does not work that well. I have it at 300 on top and 100 on the bottom at 5 clicks from the fastest recovering. It is comfortable yes, but I know I am still bottoming out at times. I use it mostly for commuting 30 miles a day round trip on paved trails. I just can't figure out if I need a coil over spring that is oil filled or maybe a bigger air spring.  I have done lots of reading and I just can't find anything for heavier riders. Yes I am losing weight as I know that will help the shock and lots of other things. Already down 20 lbs, had to lose that just so I could ride my wheel. 

 

ANY ADVICE OR LINKS WOULD BE GREAT.
