Default Rear shock options for a Banshee

Well one thing I do need besides motor work is a rear shock.. I can bottom it out.. by hand. I don't want to go out and spend a lot on something I'd much rather go back to stock b/c I do not want 100's into a shock.

what are recommended? I am a HEAVY guy so it has to be good shock and I would like to get into a little jumping nothing big but I would like to jump a little so It needs to be something somewhat strong.

Options and prices? like do other bikes shocks fit that would be an improvement over stock?

I personally don't mind the stock shock, that rear is a pretty good one and I've seen new ones for for $75..

itd probaly be alot cheaper to just buy a used stock one from someone on here that has life left in it, rather than pay for shipping both wways, a new spring, revalving and labor on getting it rebuilt by one of the companies out there.. i say just get a used stocker with life, they are cheap as hell around the forums, how heavy are you? you can play with the preload nut and crank it down a bit , itll help from bottoming out

I don't want to mess with getting it rebuilt anyways I'm too impatient and my friend bought a used stock one fo rlike 75.. (prolly less I'm not sure) and it was just fine.

I'm 200ish trying to lose some.. I'll try to adjust it but literally it's like you can just push down on it and bottom it out with out any effort.
