you should be able to get away with .42 springs in the front. The stockers are something like .35 or .36. the shock spring should be fine for your weight. I am 225 lbs and am running .44 in the front and a 5.2 in the rear Race tech suggested .46 and 5.4, but I don't like getting my arms and legs hammered in roots and rocks and I don't get much big air anymore ;)
