hey everybody. i have a 2006 giant reign 2. i have had it for 2 years and it's been a great bike. i use it to train for mx and ride a mix of cross county, free ride and some dirt jumping. The suspension on this bike has always been iffy but i spend so much on my mx bikes that i never did upgrade. well my rear shock finally blew out and i want to upgrade now. the manitou stuff has got to go. any suggestions on what to look for? would the fox rp3 be good step up? anybody got any decent used stuff they want to unload? i also want to get rid of the fork. thanks in advance.

I have a 2006 Reign 1 and it has an RP2 on it which works quite well. If I had a choice though, I would go with a shock that does not have a large volume air sleeve. I'm only 165lbs and I have to run it at the higher end of the pressure range.
