Well, option 1. Get your schock rebuilt revalved and resprung, IF it can be (call works or someone). Option 2, buy an aftermarket shock made for your weight. Option 3, see if anyone will sell you just a spring. Option 4, sell it and buy a DS650 or V-force.

Raptor rear shocks work on a warrior.

is the Spring tension on a Warrior adjustable? If So go buy the $15 Shock adjustment tool and, crank the nut down a few full turns! It will set you ride height higher and, not squish so much!

I'm down in Seattle, and have a spare resprung rear shock that might fit perfect for you.........

It's been re-sprung and valved for a guy your weight but it's off a banshee though, so the shock mounted ressie might interfere with your airbox, or you can go with a carb mount K&N. Otherwise I've heard of guys running a 'shee shock on the Warriors back when I used to have one.

PM me with your email addy and I can send you some pictures with more details if you're interested.
