I am a career mechanic; work on bicycles in the spring, summer and fall and Snowboard and ski tech the long winters here in Quebec. Not at work: wrench on the Xterra, the Pathfinder and the Rogue.... have fires out back, look for things to cut down with either the double bit axe or my 1980 2-stroke chainsaw!! Drink dark ales, scotch and cognac and sweat up a pool while working on the house.... sleep is for girly girlz and the weak!!

@eddieantifreeze: I'm 200lbs and 6'2" and I'm on a 525lbs/in spring.... I would have you on a 575 at _minimum_ and ideally a 600lbs/in spring... but it also depends on where and how you ride!!

Springs ( coil ) are generally available for most everyone's rear suspension. I ordered, a few years ago, a coil spring from Ohlins for a gentlemen who was 450 lbs. His doctor told him that he _had_ to start riding soon. We ordered an 1100lbs/ in coil for him on his alloy Specialized Enduro. Heard from him just before the pandemic started (Nov 2019?) and he needs a new spring because he lost 130lbs or so. I work in a bike shop to help people. I'll help everyone who rolls, walks or crawls in if I can! I know that a custom spring isn't cheap but they are available.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Run a Bash Guard?
I'm still running an e-13 bash on my single-ring setup from about 8 years ago on a RaceFace Turbine and infinite ajustable BB kit....and a 42T ring. which just barely fits under the bashguard and chainguide combo! You can plow into just about anything you want and not even notice.

Oh lord... there's a score feature.... Ladies, gentlemen and others: we have a new KOM race to see who gets the highest jump score. Pretty much guaranteed to be causing injuries!
