Along time ago for my old 856 I got a spring for my ODS shock (front) I believe the manufacturer was speed spring, however I believe K2 can supply suitable springs, you will require a NB2-250X this suits 130-170lbs or NB2-300X which suits 160-200lbs, check with the supplier that this is a straight forward fit first as you may need an installation kit, speed spings come with new spring carriers etc.alternativly do yourself a favour get a risse shock.
