mxz heavy duty spring needed.....

Was wondering if anyone has a source for a heavy duty rear spring for an 05 mxz. I'm around 275 lbs and like to ride pretty hard but I bottom out my rear spring continuously. My local dealers parts counter says they cant help me. Any info would be great. Thanks, Gordon

Go to a different dealor, ask for Sno-X shock springs. I did it to me 02, was the best thing I ever did besides having the shocks valved slightly tighter for me. Im 6-3 370lbs. Its worth it for sure.
