I'm a big dude and I squat the warrior pretty bad, and the shock is adjusted to its max. With my paddles in the sand if i hit a bump ill rub.

Whats the best Advice I can get, besides lose weight! haha 6'2 245
 
banshee or 01 raptor 660 shock and airbox mod will take care of that

01 660 shock is the best for bigger guys, but they can be pricey. That siad I am 6'5" 250lbs and got a banshee shock on its way, so I'll be finding out if it can take the weight good.

yeah let me know how that banshee rear does with your wieght. my rear is getting a little springy so time for me to change it.
 
Banshee shock will be fine for the bigger guys on a stock swinger. Throw an extended swinger on there and it will be to soft and need revalved.... mine needs revalved pretty bad, sags to much for my liking when sitting.
 
Have 04 banshee rear on stock swinger,i weigh 230 and im 6.1. It was quite possibly the best money i have spent. no more sag,super plush in jumps. mine was so wore out though! i have taken it to the river a few times and with properly set i havent even come close to bottoming. I think if i do i wont be able to land that crazy air anyway!!!:atv:
 
so i put a rear banshee shock on my warrior and it seems that it doesnt come up very fast. I dont know if its suppose to pop up right away or slowly come back up. I dont really now much about that kinda shock so would just like some input thanks.
 
Well my shock I got off of a member on here is now what i think you could call blown. I was hitting a good 6' jump with my bud on his ltr 450. We were jumping about 20' out of it and i was keeping up with him. Well rear end came loose so i stopped and started wrenching on it. As doing this I noticed that my rotor for my rear brake smacked my sub frame. :( so looks like i got a horrible deal with that shock. considering that i had a wonderful 04 stocker on mine..:/

Theres a dial on the bottom of the shock that adjusts rebound I think its call. Adjust that and it adjust how quick it comes back. Found that out when I first put mine on.
 
Thanks for the tip on the bottom clicker it works preety good now i would suggest it.
