Lehman Monarch II rear suspension

When riding over an uneven surface the rear tire on my trike either hits the fender or, is lifting off the road and then skidding as it connects again. Any suggestions as to the best rear suspension settings for this trike.

I believe that there is a ring to adjust the spring tension in addition to the preload setting.

I am not very heavy - about 170lbs.

Also any idea on what weight the trike will carry - rider, passenger, luggage.

Thanks for your help.

bette - Welcome to the site. First check the air pressures in the rear tires. They should be around 18-22 lbs., overinflated would cause extra bounce. What shocks are on the rear? What bike do you have triked? That will determine the what load you can carry.
