I haven't gotten any response in the shop, so I figured I'd try here. Because I can't seem to get a hold of the right spring rate in the stroke I need, I was wondering if if would be doable to put a 3.5" spring on a 3.0" stroke shock? Specifically a Vivid. It seems like an extra half inch wouldn't make a difference, but I don't want to mess up my shock body because of unnecessary rubbing. Any thoughts?

ofc You can , but You have to check first if it will fit (3,5" springs are 190-200mm~ long)
