I bought a 05 Yeti AS-X complete early this year. I weigh 210 with gear so I ordered a heavier spring for the shock. The bike came with a Fox DHX 5.0 (8.5 eye - 2.5 shaft) and a 500*2.80 stock spring. I bumped up the weight to a 600*2.55. I was told at the shop that the 2.55 would be a longer spring made for big drops and DH. But after talking to a friend that was told not to use that spring because of the coil binding, I wonder if this is the wrong spring. If the new 2.55 spring is 5/100 of an inch longer than the shaft, I would be screwed after two turns of preload.
I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say. The shop said that Fox sent the 2.55 for my DHX. But another guy also talked to Fox and said I need a 600*2.8, the length I had to start.
If anybody knows what the heck I'm talking about please respond.
Thanks
