I am told that the rear shock spring is a bit stiffer on a early Shee, say a 1990 or so, than the one on my 1999.

If so, anyone got an extra cause at 230 lbs she's sagging a little.

That was a rumor that went around, that I have been unable to verify. All springs that I get test at ~5.31kg/mm. 5.4 kg/mm is what they are rated for from the factory. 5.4 kg/mm works out to be about a 300lb/in spring. If I was building your shock, I would run a 450lb/in spring, or roughly an 8.1 kg/mm.

Im at 280 what is the best rate you recomend for me if you were to rebuild my rear shock I would like the stiffest you can get your hands on

No you don't. I can get rear springs all the way up to 1300lbs.

 

It would depend on the type of riding you do, but probably an 8.9.
