Hey there folks! I reached out to you before for suspension advice and got some great responses. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet as I have had some other ideas. Again, I've got a '17 FC 350 with a little over 15hrs on it (had a child last spring and didn't get much riding in). I'm 6ft 220lbs with gear on (slimming down hopefully) and a fast C slow B rider. I ride at a legitimate sand track most of the time and would like to get out to the local practice days more this summer. I was dead set on getting suspension work done at first and had plans to send it out. But after reading a lot of articles and forum posts it seems the AER 48 can be dialed in pretty well. My experience is that the forks are a little busy. Anyways, my predicament is, should I do the suspension work? Or get a rekluse auto clutch and a slip on? My thoughts are the rekluse would be nice in the sand to keep momentum and help a not so skilled rider navigate the track a bit better, and the slip on would get me the low end a bigger guy like me needs at times. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks in advance guys!!!
What is your clickers and air press at now? Rear spring and preload or sag + clickers?
Shock spring rate changed to 5.2kg, 105 sag, 2 turn for hi comp, 15 clicks on lo comp, 10 clicks for rebound

You didn't mention gearing, but I recommend a 52-tooth out back. I run a 52t on my FC350 with good results on sand.
I have a Rekluse Core EXP 3.0, and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it. It is great for moto and for trail riding.
Im happy overall with it though. Engine is amazing so broad and flexible. The brakes and handling are unreal. Broke a rear brake spring last time out just ordered a replacement and also a fast rear brake spring. I have a 4.8 shock spring im going to install soon.
Im on the gym and weight loss kick right now so 190 is the goal. 4.8 should be perfect.
Don't forget ill save you cash on whatever you need, just text me.
