I have the same frame as you and was thinking about buying a fox dhx 5 like yourself. However the stroke sizing is slightly different than my fox vanilla stock shock. Was wondering what size of shock do you have and if you had any problems fitting it. Thanks

8.75x2.75. the stroke on the stock vanilla is 2.5". the strock for the same eye to eye on a dhx is 2.75. this will give you a total of 8.1" of travel, compared to the stock 7.5".

Looks clean man. A lot more than mine. Hell mine only had 729s, protapers and a sherman slider plus. It did the trick though.

Thanks for the reply. You think its worth spending the money on the new shock then, you notice a lot of improvement?
