I'm around 250lbs, and I notice my current fork barely travels because my weight nearly tops it out. Would this fork be better for a heavier dude like me? Also, is it compatible with my bike?
If you're feeling extra generous with your time, how easy/expensive would it be to convert this bike into a 1x* drivetrain? Thanks!

That said, this fork has thicker (35mm) tubes. They will not flex as much as your 28.6mm tubes. And it has 140mm or 150mm travel vs your 100mm travel. So it is longer and will raise the front end of your bike up. This may, or may not, be a good thing.
This is an air fork. Much lighter than your spring fork. And more adjustable for your weight.
But, it is still likely designed for a 170lb. +/- rider. Also, it looks like your bike has 27.5" wheels. This fork is for 29" wheels. I do all my own bike work but it sounds like you might should enlist the expertise of your local bike shop to get your bike working better for you.

The truth of the matter is that most all bicycle, and motorcycle, suspensions are set up for a 170 lb. +/- rider. Anyone else usually has to rework it for their weight. This is often cost-prohibitive for the casual rider.
