I managed to find a 230x57.5 but I've heard a 230x60 should work too. It will just increase the travel a bit. I have an extra rockshox 151mm 230x57.5 500lb spring if you really need one. Used it for a few rides before upping to a 550lb spring.

Do you have the shock, I don’t need the spring I am just looking for a shock as I have the link coming here soon. Are you Shure a 230x 60 would fit?

Unfortunately, I cant say with 100% confidence that 230x60 will fit with the cascade link since I've never tried it. I know from other peoples post here that they have had success using a 230x60 super deluxe ultimate on a remedy without the coil but to be honest I've never seen another remedy with a coil and a cascade link besides mine. It should fit, but I would have to try it to see. I just know my 230x57.5 fits on my bike.

You'll probably have to give it a shot and hope for the best, that's what I did haha. I think it should be ok though

Hi guys I also have the trek remedy 8 GX

I have 37.5mm raise bars
35mm stem
And 170mm Marzocchi forks

Do you think this would make it too high on the front with the 10mm increase on the forks as well as the 10mm increase on the bars

Looking to upgrade to fox float X from my stock rockshox super deluxe on my 2020 remedy 8. Does anyone know what parts I'll need to make this work?

Nah, it's perfectly fine as it is stated on Trek's dealer site that an extra 10mm travel fork iwon't mess anything up. Higher rise bars, go for it. Might change your reach ever so slightly but nothing majorly noticeable.
