Good Dual/Full Suspension Bikes?

I am pretty sure this is a contradiction for most experienced bikers, but I am looking for a decent bike with full suspension (mountain, hybrid, whatever) with a budget of $300. The frame should be able to fit me, and I'm 6'0" and 245 lbs.

I know $300 is not a lot, but I hope it is enough for something. I don't do any serious racing, distance, or mountain biking, but I would need it for a 6-8 mile daily commute. I say full suspension (or at least seat suspension) because where I live the roads aren't very even and there are a lot of potholes.

Anyways, I was looking into the Jeep Cherokee full Susp. Bike. Here are the specs:

Frame: 7000 aluminum floating beam full suspension
Fork- Steel Crown 80mm travel
Rear Shock: Coil
Headset: Steel Threadless 1 1/8"
Stem: Alloy XR 26 31.8 clamp
Handlebar: Alloy Riser MTB 31.8
Grips: Velo Kraton D2
Brakes: Promax 320 Mechanical Disk F & R
Brake Levers: Forged Alloy
Shifters: Shimano 24 Speed with Indicators
Front Derailleur: Shimano Tourney
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Altus
Cassette: Shimano 8 Speed 12-28
Chain: KMC
Crankset: Alloy Arms 26, 38, 48 Alloy
Bottom Bracket: Square Taper VP
Pedals: VP Alloy Cage
Wheels: Custom Alloy Disc Rims with 32 hole Stainless Steel Spokes
Tires: Mountain Knobby Tread 26" x 2.1"
Saddle: Vitesse Custom
Seat Post: Vitesse
Seat Clamp- Alloy Adjustable
Weight: 33 lbs

Could anyone tell me if this bike is any good, or if there are other full suspension bikes that are good out there for my budget, hopefully with at least full disk brakes, shimano gears, dual/full suspension, at least a 19" frame, and weighing less than 35 lbs.
