Springs go right up to 1500lb. But that's far too much.
You need a 550lb spring on the Mk2 swinger, and a 350lb spring on the Mk1 swinger.
This is my SM bike, with 350lb spring, on a custom made 240mm shock...

mines going to be used on road so carrying more weight and also wanted harder for road use how hard is your shock? just trying to gauge how much higher to go on the spring

Re: help with monster motor gull arm
What do you mean, carrying more weight?
350lb is the lighter spring option, 550lb is the heavier option.
Going up again will take it to a 1000lb spring. And if you can even get one that will fit your shock, it will be far too heavy, giving no movement in the swinger.
1000lb springs are for MX arms.
