Rear Spring

[Sasquatch]

Is there a stiffer spring available for the rear shock on a 05 Warrior? I can find one for the front of the skid but not the rear.

I have the suspension on firmest settings and lets face it at 325 pds I'm no lightweight. The suspension rides well considering. Now if I only change the front shock to a say this one at I'm guessing the 240# but do not know what spring rate the stock one is.

What difference would that make?

There is a kit including the center shock spring and a new custom valved rear shock. Is this the better route to go? I would kinda like to wear out my rear shock first before replacing it.

Try Bruce at Pioneer: http://www.pioneermotorsport.com/pp_index.htm
It sounds like you have an 05 RX-1 w monoshock rear? You may have a hard time finding a stiffer spring for ther rear because of how new it is.

Na I got a 05 Warrior. I didn't put that in my post, stupid me. I've edited it now. It looks like Yami makes a little stiffer spring 3.5 - 5.3 stock to a 3.5-6.0 kg/mm. That was looking at PP's web site you provided.

What kind of difference .7 kg/mm would make I'm not sure. Its a 13% increase on bottoming but as I'm more than 13% heavier than most I wonder. Has anyone else supersized changed rear shock springs?

You may try callling Bruce tomorrow. When I had my 03 RX-1, I purchased new springs & had him re-valve the rear shocks, I also am not a lightweight - what a difference. Also another source is mountain performance http://www.mountainperformance.com/
especially for titanium (very expensive though)
