since I got my 2020 Levo the front/rear balance has always been 'off'.
The front is fine, especially since I upgraded the sir shaft to 160mm but the rear suspension is either too soft and I blow through the travel or, if I add a few more PSI, its like rock but still manages to blow through the travel.
I have the standard rockshox select unit (or whatever it is on the comp) and ive read a few things about the megneg upgrade etc etc but im a farily big lad and already have 250psi in the shock so that might not be an option.

does anyone have any suggestions that dont involve just dropping the sovs on a new DPX2 or similar, I cant afford to buy another shock.

Add some tokens to the shock. It will keep the shock the same up to the mid, then at the top ot will become much more resistant to bottoming out.
Not sure if you can get tokens for it, but that's the solution.

I megnegged my RT3. It helped, even running over 275psi it was alot more compliant than it was before at ~240psi. But in the end I went for a cane creek db air with a custom tune from Jtech. Best thing Ive done for the rear...was well worth the money. Sometimes youve just got to bite the bullet!
