Hey, I've got an 08 Giant Glory 0 that i'm running as a DH bike. Boxxer up front and a crappy Manitou 4x in the back. I want a new Vivid, but need the exact ratio and size for the bike. Called up Giant CS and they were no help and it doesn't say on their official website in the archived section either. I don't just want to get a shock and hope for the best, much thanks!!

Pull out your current shock and measure it. You need the distance from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other eyelet, as well as the length of the exposed piston shaft. This will give you the _" x _" measurement necessary to get the right shock.

From my search, not experience:
"The shock is a 9.5x3.0 and the mounting hardware is 30mm for the top eye and 35mm for the bottom eye."

Could be wrong since that's just a quick google search, but maybe someone can confirm.
