I'm getting pissed off over fox's stupidity at the moment.

How the fuck do you sell shit, for your shit, that doesn't fit your shit?

Their 600x 3.25" spring won't fit their DHX2 cause it's too long... But their 500x3.25" spring will cause it's shorter.

Which coils will fit on their DHX2 as far as diameter beside their piece of shit coils?
Apparently, the coil can only be up to 6.84"
Looking for 3" Stroke compatability

Push hyper coil fits my bomber cr.

Push, EXT, and SAR for sure

Yeah, this guy told me that the 600lb spring won't fit the dhx2, but would fit the Bomber CR.

I called Cane Creek and talked to a guy named Tom. Great guy, not pushy or in a rush and willing to help me out. It ends up that he went to measure the Valt spring and called me back in several minutes to verify that the is Valt will fit since it's shorter than the Fox spring. The dhx2 has a lot of thread, so I know it will work. Plus, the diameter is the same inside and out (@Westy ) as Fox springs.

Coincidentally, I just googled "600x3" spring and it showed Cane Creeks website had that exact spring for $5!

I told Tom and was surprised and asked what website that was on. I told him to not report it for 5 minutes while I complete my order. Lol

Wow. Did they use zero diameter wire or is it some kind of mobius spring?

It's actually an air spring.

Be careful with Hyper coils on Fox shox. I had one on a DHX and near bottom the bulge in the middle of the coil would catch the end of the reservoir body.

Made a nasty sound that I felt through my legs, thought I coil bound it.

No such issues on this one, but thanks.

Fox's 500lb coil for their 3.5" stroke shock (a setup for Surrons) is too long to install without compressing. I compress the spring in a bench vice and put a BUNCH of zip ties around the coils to keep it compressed. Put it on the shock, then cut the zip ties. To remove a spring I have someone sit on the bike to compress it while zip ties are put on the spring.

Fox at least gives the measurement of their springs, which you can see check across on the max spring length noted for each shock.

I always run the CC VALT coils in my FOX shocks

I hope you ordered the heaviest one.

I did! It's 600 lbs per inch. Not to be cornfused with 600psi though.
