I have a S.Cruz Bullit and a 8.75"X2.75" vanilla rc with a 650lb spring, I weigh around 205lbs. The bike drops around 2" when I sit on it, but it ramps up real quickly on the spring rate. Making it almost to stiff. I know its a single swing arm design, but is it supposed to be plush all the way down or ramp up like that for big hits?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

trust me, thats not what ramping up is like, that bike and shock wont ramp up (its linear). With the amount of sag you have, that is a normal setup.

That is typical of a single pivot, which is why people prefer linkages or run progressive shocks since they'll feel softer in the mid stroke then actually ramp up at the end.

What would a good shock. Not overly priced but effective?
Also what do you think about the push racing valves for the rc is it worth it?
