  1. I want to reloace my Fox 2.25" stroke with a 2.5" stroke
    shock. Any recomendations? I figure my rear travel with go
    from 5" to about 6.6" or am I wrong?

    The question is, can your bike's geometry be able to take a
    larger stroke shock with more travel?

    Yes I measured it out and it looks good. My head tude angle
    is very slack with a 5" travel fork (03 haro extreme frame).

    I think the frame could actually handle a 2.75" stroke shock
    but I think that would be too much.

    So any tips on the shock of choice? I want to stay with coil
    over for the drops and hits.
