At my wits end with adjusting my rear shock and need some help
Post Body

Hey all, so on my 2019 Trek Session (9.9 27.5 RSL) I have quite a serious problem with my rear shock, it's a 2020 Fox X2 Factory and I have it pumped up all the way to 280 PSI, with 5 volume spacers in it, but I'm still sitting at 35% sag and a simple bunny hop on the flat punches through ~60% of the travel and bottom out on even small jumps and I don't know how to prevent it from doing that.

It's not the shock btw, it's verified good, and even the "old" (a 2019 Fox X2 Factory) had the same issue until it got a crack in the stanchion and I had to remove it from the bike to replace the stanchion and have it serviced.

I'm 6'4" 230 pounds (195cm 105kg) I don't think I should be bottoming out this easily being 35-40 PSI above Trek recommended pressure. So, what else can I do? I'm close to buying a coil shock and putting on a 600lbs spring, or buying an EXT shock with hydraulic bottom out :/
