Do yourself a favor and move your suspension mods high up on your things to do list. You might be able to get away with the stock shock spring but the fork springs are WAY too light for anyone over about 130lbs. Balancing the suspension will drastically improve the way your bike handles. It will turn better and be much more stable/predicable and turn so much better than it does now. Install a heavier rate fork spring for now then if you find you are looking for more out of your suspension you can always invest more later. I'd think you'd want to go with 0.41 or 0.42kg/mm springs if you were retaining the stock shock spring. You're best bet is to consult with a suspension expert with KDX experience.
There is a section with mods for tall riders, new bike prep and a hop-up guide on the JustKDX site that you'll likely want to have a look at.
