[Closed] Replacement Rear Shock (Air?) for Specialize Status 1

Ok the the stock Specialize Status 1 has the following rear shock

[b]Custom X-Fusion Vector R, coil over with piggy back, adj. rebound, Spring rate S: 400, M: 450, L: 500 8.5x2.5"[/b] mines the large BTW

But I really want something that i can adjust a lot more for the inevitable climb back up the hills. I know it's a down hill bike but I'm not being dropped in by helicompter, carried up by truck etc LOL

So the climb is going to happen but just want to make life a little easier for myself 🙂
So what do you all recommend as a replacement shock for the current stock one. Ideally it should be able to take the same punishment but allow having more control over it.
