Now have 700 miles on my 2014 pro 163 and I weigh 265 it seems to getting a little soft when you ride it hard pulled the rear shocks last night and they feel pretty good was wondering if a carls cycle revalve would be the ticket ? Maybe triple rate springs thanks for any info brad
 
Re-spring and re-valve will be an improvement for almost anyone, and like RMS said it is especially helpfull if you fall way outside of the spectrum that the oem sets them for. Do you notice them softening more after an extended run down a bumpy trail, or does it seem to do it in all conditions? If it is only on the rough trails you might be getting some shock fade from them heating up. If that's the case you may need to have a reservoir added to your shock, or replace it completely with an aftermarket one with a reservoir.
 
Carls and Holz are CRAZY EXPENSIVE!

They're the most popular simply because they're the most known companies

Andy at www.gasshockrepair.com is the cheapest and doesn't have your shocks for more than a day

He does my Raptors yearly, rebuilt and revalved my ladies WE's, shortened and rebuilt a set of fox floats and rebuilt a set of dragon WE's for me so far.

Andy is the best bang for the buck hands down when it comes to rebuilds, revalves etc
 
^ what he said. If he can than Im sold...

Also to the OP... SLP makes spring kits for heavier riders. 130 ish for the rears and 200ish for the fronts. Id say your in for a revalve AND re spring.

Yes Andy can add reservoirs

We opted not to do the reservoirs on the ladies 11 pro WE's and added the raptor springs and her shocks are very good.... We revalved them for her weight, rebuilt, added tr springs and boom
