Easiest way to stiffen suspension

[Miller’swinder]

I’m a big guy and need to stiffen my suspension on my 137 ltx-dx. Shitty shocks and springs on it. Anyone have any ideas that won’t break the bank ?

4 sided torsion spring adjusters might do the trick. Yamaha sells them and I believe BOP has some too. $60-$75

I put a 160lb spring on my front track shock suggested by Cannondale and it works wonders as well. $50

Ok. Yeah I’ve seen the 4 sided adjuster. I got bigger front spring blocks already but will try those as well. As long as the springs can handle it. And where did you get the 160lb spring?

I did the stiffer spring and Elka shocks. At least the stiffer spring is the minimum investment I think

 

[Miller’swinder]

How much was the Elka Suspension. Just the back shocks or all the way around?

160lb spring number handy?

I ordered a Cat one.

Yikes...They sure don't give that stuff away. Do you have to be Johnny snowcrosser to appreciate the set-up, or does it provide a lazy boy recliner experience down the trail? I've got the RR/LE shocks and think those are awesome, can't imagine how much better you can get. Jmho
