Default 2-2.5 question

Howard, or anyone else who might be able to answer this,

I have a set of the 2-2.5 shocks and they work great for my big *** riding solo. But is there an adjustment I can make if I throw a passenger on? Or if I ride 2-up with any consistency will I need to buy a new set of shocks?

Yes, adjust the sag the same way you did for a solo rider. About a 1/3 of the stroke compressed. Use zip tie to verify once you're riding.
