What about rear shocks on Lifan xpects?

Looking at the thread for replacing Hawk shocks with nice, adjustable ones left me jealous. Ha ha.

The rear suspension on mine is too stiff. It rattles over bumps instead of absorbing them. The back wheel is always leaving the ground over bumps instead of tracking with it. UNLESS I have the bike fully loaded with panniers, tent, drinking water, food, etc. or if I have a passenger on back.

Then the bike rides nicely.

It would be great to have an adjustable rear shock that lets it work with just me OR fully loaded down.

Has anyone done this?
