That shock is probably worn out. Buy another stock shock off ebay (there around $25) and switch the BBR spring from the old shock onto it. Your front suspension is already setup so don't worry about it. The rear shock was the only thing that wasn't replaced or rebuilt when I redid the bike.

Doesn't sound right . A shock only absorbs energy . If anything , if the shock itself was bad , the back end would be really bouncy .
A bbr spring is only 60% stiffer than stock . Which really isn't that much . But it would definitely help . Unless you're lying about your weight
