Jim, the lever shock will work. You can make it firmer  as has been 
suggested with valving and heavy shock fluid. We do sell heavy duty 
rebuilt levers. But,  lever shocks cannot recover from a rapid series of 
up/down movements. These cause the oil to foam so there  is limited 
damping action.   Tube shocks do not have this problem. Ted
