IQS for 300lb rider

As a guy that is in the 6’5” 300+ range myself I have replaced my stock shocks with Elka. I would send them to hugest to valve and spring. Hygear kept trying to give me the stock torsion springs, what I did find worked out well for torsions though is I went to hygear personally and they gave me a stock torsion that is the heaviest one they carry for procross. I ran it on full soft (maybe would have done 1 or both torsions 1 size down) but on full soft they worked amazing for a trail sled. Drag racing they did not want to transfer much but still loved it in the rough stiff and even the small bumps! I think they called it a 409 or 427 springs something like that.

Add a lot of rebound to the shocks when they revalve. The feeling of a shock with lots of rebound in them lets you land like a cat nice and stable. The stock shocks have so much rebound you feel the sled rebounding more than you do the size of the bump!
