How can I make my psylo stiffer?

I need a firm spring for my psylo uturn "almost works" nightmare fork. I don't care about virtually anything, as it's a dirt jumper and I got it in trade for a pair of handlebars I wasn't going to use. Unfortunately, it's super soft and I need to firm it up.

Any ideas? I don't mind adding air valves, filling it with cement, adding thicker oil, yelling at it, or finding another spring that might come close to working. Any ideas?

I'm not sure what flavor I have. It's a 20mm and uturn 80-120, I believe. I've already bid on that spring, but I'm waiting till tomorrow to try again....I don't really want to spend $50 for a spring on a free fork, when I could probably dig up a 20mm zokes for the same.

Yea, I was thinking the same. By the time you get the spring and the damper you could sell the Psylo and get something else.
The other thought is, since you got it for free. Find a cheap spring, try it. If it works get the damper. For $60-70 total, not to bad.

rgr that. We'll see what the auction goes to. $11 on shipping kind sucks. I'm tempted to drill and tap the damper side to see if I can install an air valve and just put some air in there, along with thicker oil. Or just fill it with oil. Or honey. Or bees.

I was thinking of trying what that bonkers california kid did and like cutting the spring and replacing half of it with tubez to increase the spring rate. Or adding elastomers. I think I might crack it open tonight.
