i have a freind who has a ishock with a res for $199.00 but i didn't know if it would do the job .how would i know what rate the spring is? would it be on the box? thats a lot of cash but if it will soften the blow then i'll try it . thanks ,cody

Re: ishock with res.
The spring rate should be on the spring in white numbers.Stock is 250, it would prolly work but you could also try a 350 spring

Re: i shockin'
What shop were you at? I'm just curious.
Most shops stock our shocks with standard spring rate of 250lbs. Your local shop can get all our spring rates as well as some even stock our shocks with different spring rates, such as the 350.

Ishock is worth every penny u dont get that loud clunk noise when u land now and if u crank the spring up as tight as possible its like not possible to bottom out. But the main idea is it gets rid of the hole clunk noise u have with the stock one. Only thing u will have to get is some applide fork springs to level the bike out just the forks will prolly bend or at least mine are and im 125lbs.
