Default jumping prob

i love to jump my trail blazer up at the jumps me and a friend made but when i jump i bottom out alot of the times and i like to go big. the longest ive jumped so far was jumping over 3. but i bottomed out big time and i do bottom out when i dont even go half that big. can u get harder spring or shocks for my 1999 250 trail blazer (( i got the back spring as hard as it gets))

well mines pretty all stock teh only thing i got in that makes any thing differnt is teh k&n filter adn 12 t sproket but u can get alot of pipes for teh tb from aaen and hpd but dont get a fmf or dg pipe b/c they dont come with a clutch kit when u buy the pipe from aaen or hpd the come wiht the clutch kit to get the most power out of teh pipe. and teh tb isnt really a jumping 4 wheeler b/c its only a 250 adn it has alot of weight.but when i jump i ussuly have a place to get speed at and when i hit the jump to go about 25 feet im traviling really fast when i hit it the jump is only about 2 feet high but the one we have to jump pther 4 wheelers wiht is about 6 inches over my handlebars.

You can get stronger springs from polaris. The stock spring are the softest. I do a 45' double to table top at the race Track. Im coming down from sometimes 8 feet of air an don't bottom out. I also have to rubber rebounds in each front shock ain 1 1/2 in the rear.
