k so i just bought a DH frame and it says on the web the stock forks are 5", would it matter if i put 6 or 7" forks on? Or would that throw the geometry off and i would get stress cracks?

look on the iorn horse web site they will tell you what the max travel is without voiding the warranty. Once you get that info you should be able to make a sound decision.

only problem is that the IH website was finally taken down.

It's a DH/FR frame
IH made really strong frames

that said, i wouldn't go higher than 6 just to keep the geo in check
