So I have had lots of bottoming issues with my 2016 Enduro Float CTD. I've pushed the envelope on psi, upwards 325-350 just to get a 25% sag. my dry weight is 225lbs plus gear. I'm really thinking about the new Fox coil DHX2. I have heard form some, certain shocks wont work with certain rear geometry? Can anyone verify this? Just cause a shock will fit, I don't accept that it will work with certain geometry.

maybe you can put volume spacers in to keep from bottoming out , coil wont necessarily fix your problem

Dump that rear shock and go with a Monarch Plus. Trust me...

I pretty much agree with the monarch suggestion . I have a 2017 enduro and hit big stuff from time to time without harsh bottom outs , stock monarch that came on the bike , usually about 30 percent sag , works for me .Just for comparison I do have experience on full on DH bikes with coil , they usually don't ramp up at the end like air can if in the right configuration , this is a subject that could talked about for days
