I am sure this Has been posted and discussed at length, but here it is again:
I am in the process of building up a Cove G spot and I found a newish Fox DHX 5.0. The problem is that I asked the guy to measure the eye to eye length and he must have measured something else, cuz it's at least an inch too big. I know it will raise my rear end a bit, and I know that suspension geometry is meant for certain size shocks, but what will happen to the handling if the shock is an inch too big?
