FFS this person is ten stone, why all the tech talk on shocks that the OP probably won't benefit from. You lot are way over 10st which is why you have to buy and bodge shocks suitable for pie munchers!

The SV is perfectly adequate in suspension for those of a lighter persuasion, it just needs setting up for the weight, none of this jacking up, loading of that, blah blah blah. I stated on page 1 what a shock feels like when its broke when you weigh ten stone, and a standard replacement shock is perfectly adequate as a replacement, or a Hagon(as it appears they don't like chopping battery boxes either)

Tshh pie munchers!!

Some people like damping that works.

Stock shock is f*ckin wank and I wouldn't use one to close a door.

Anyway for 10 stone I would say SRAD-750 shock. Softer shock than standard actually. Far better damping and length.

Thats because you spend all your time eating pie n chips and finishing off with a packet of Hobnobs.
To you a stock shock will feel w4ank as you put it, but to someone else who is 10 stone, its likely to feel completely different....a bit like that under damped stock suspension on my Raptor, to a fat ar$e it will feel underdamped and rubbish, to them that aren't, it'll be fine leaving us wondering what you lot are whinging about
