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.
