Rear Shock Spring availability

Rear Shock Spring availability
Is there a stronger rear spring made for the SF rear shock?
I weigh 220 and have the stock one at max preload to get my sag "about" right, but this is contributing to a harsh, stiff ride.
I think i would be better served with a spring set for my weight with less preload on it. There seem to be several options for the S model shock but not the SF (i could not even find springs at racetec).
Side question, if i switch to the S shock, is there a spring available that can handle 220 lbs?

He's really easy to talk with and full of knowledge if you wanna talk suspension with him. I think it might cost more than an off the shelf Racetech spring, but to have something made perfectly for your weight (and with choice of color!) I'll happily pay that.

John at Moto-pro posted them to Thailand for me. Good service about $100 + postage for the 7.4kg/mm rear spring.

Don't forget heavy duty fork springs, they are super soft on the stock bike & make an incredible difference for hard motard street riding!
.52kg/mm Moto-pro fork springs. About $120 for the pair

Racetech. One of the techs rides a KLX and can get you dialed in (we're all in the same weight class). I've had them revalve my forks and recently the shock. Can't say enough good things about my suspension now.
Fork springs for us are harder to find. I posted a source here some time ago...
