What shocks should I buy under $100 for Giant Rincon(4 posts)

What shocks should I buy under $100 for Giant RinconTHUNDER

I'm looking for a good shock for my Rincon. I love my bike but want to start jumping higher. 5ft drops at the most, if I can find some.
Anyways I don't know anything about shocks. What will fit? Where to buy? If I can do it? I really don't want to spend more than $100 bucks.

Thanks,

I have a 2003 Giant Rincon and it has the RST Capa TL fork. I changed to the hard fork springs from the regular springs and never bottom out the fork now. Part number is FK7935.

I do not know about 5ft drops. I have never done one. The most I have dropped is two feet to a flat surface.

The hard springs were only $20 plus shipping. You might try that before buying a new fork.

Note: A new Ricon comes with a warning label attached, that says the bike is not to be used for stunts or jumps.

Well I may have exageratted a little. 3-4 foot drops and jumps is all I want to do. I'll check into the part. Thanks.
