Rear mtn bike shock help!

[DieselTech]

Guys & gals I need a softer rear shock for this new ebike I just bought. Here are my shock specs, per my measurements 150mm eye to eye, 43mm body, with a 30mm piston with a 30mm stroke.

All the youtube reviewers said if your not 200+lbs the stock shock will beat you to death.
Lmao it dont beat me to death, but it bounces me completely up off the seat.

I'm looking for a softer adjustable rear shock, plus would not mind a bit lower seat height.

Can any of you reccomend anything. This is new to me. Thanks.

Another thing! WTH does that warning sticker mean? Can somebody tell me what that means. Sounds like if some spring nut is not tight b4 removing the shock it will blow apart!!! Thanks.

Sounds alot like a car strut where you need a strut compressor tool in order to remove the strut or it takes off like a rocket and kills or maims someone....Sounds like that spring nut is the bikes equivalent of what is done with cars...I would be very careful with that if I were you.

Those shocks are expensive.

They are not overly pricey. 150mm is kinda odd ball length. Wish it was 165mm or longer, then it really opens up the shock selection.
