4T Rear Shocks

Does anyone else feel that the rear shock on the 4 stroke stella is a bit.... worthless? I feel like I'm being punched in the kidneys every time I hit a bump. I read that the 2T Stellas came with and adjustable rear shock, but that doesnt seem to be the case on the 4T. I am assuming my only option is to replace it. If this is the case has anyone had any sucess or suggestions?

I'm not sure about the 2T coming with an adjustable shock, this is the first time I hear about it.

As far as installing a new shock I'd go with either of these:

A cheaper option is the prima shock, but I wouldn't put as much faith in their quality as I would with SIP or Bitubo.

The clearances on the back of the 4T are tighter than the 2T so some shocks may not work, depending on what kind of tires you're running. I've seen some tires rub on the shock if not mounted just right.

You are indeed right, I failed to notice that I was still filtering results on scooterworks by the 2T and not 4T.
