Timmy301 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Remember, the shocks are adjustable, just stiffen them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottt89 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I am around 305 and my 05 Shee sags even when stiffened up. I'm sure a Heavier spring would help out but, not really worth my money right now. But you may want to take that route if you are not satisfied.

sp1tekiller Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I was 260 or so when I had my 'Shee, and it felt fine. I never really did any jumping though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I rode the dunes all weekend with my girlfriend on the back and combined we weigh about 280...it did just fine. I didn't even stiffen up the suspension from where I normally have it set. I wouldn't expect it to take 30 foot jumps but for rippin' around and small jumps...no problem.
