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

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! :clue:

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

VALT Spring - 76mm/3.00in x 600lbs - AAD2471 - Cane Creek Cycling Components

Linear And Progressive Rate VALT Springs Not sure what spring rate you need? Find out here: Everything You Need To Know About Coil Springs The performance of your shock is directly related to the quality of your spring. VALT springs offer a significant weight reduction over standard steel...

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.
