Stock rear shock rebuild potential?

Coloradogoose · 04-30-2017, 02:51 AM

Knowing that the stock rear shock uses an external valve for the small air charge instead of a sealed nitrogen charge got me wondering if the stock shock is stamped together or if it could be taken apart, modified, and reassembled. It seems the spikey feel that a lot of folks talk about could be reduced with adjusted compression valving, oil weight, or both. I haven't placed my order yet, but I'm wondering about it since I'll just go with the progressive shock if there is no chance it could be modded. Of course, the little bit I've read about the progressive shock on here also reports increased travel. True? If so, how much?
