Rider weight usually determines what spring you need although some re-valving may be required. You may just want to go up to the next spring or set the spring you have stiffer.

yeah, what ken said, but i would throw them on and see if you like them the way they are, if your not doing any huge jumps they may never bottom out

they should also have a few adjustments on them to stiffen or soften the compression and rebound, u might be able to stiffen the settings up and have it work fine for ya
