Thanks! I now have the dial at 3 and I have adjusted the lower end of the shocks for the tightest spring possible, and I still am bottom out when riding. Other than losing weight I now think I need new rear suspension. progressive suspension has 412-4212C heavy duty suspension that seems to fit my 6'1" 220lb frame. I am thinking the HD model because of my frame and my wife likes to ride on back and the heavy duty makes sense. They seem costly at around $250 for a pair. I am looking for advice on what brand shocks and what web site to best buy them.
