"How do I order a spring?

To order any spring or get advice on your requirements call 01373 826800

We do not carry many Fox DHX springs in stock as Manitou (black - £25) or 5th (silver/white - £20) will fit. If you want, we can order Fox springs (Up to 2.25" stroke = £42 or 2.5" stroke & above = £54)."

info from TFTUNED.com

so yes

yes as long as you pick the right length / stroke for your shock. Fox springs are different stroke measurements to Manitou. I have a dhx 5 on my vp and i run a 550lb manitou spring. Its a fair bit longer than the fox spring but its fits in fine. IIRC the main thing TF said when i bought it was the stroke of the spring had to be the same or greater than the shock.

yeah i knew that, cheers anyway. Just DHX springs are quite fat so i was wondering if it would physically go on!

If i have a 2.8" stroke i should go for the 2.75" manitou yeh? or do i go for the 3"?

I recently bought the 2.75 inch one for my dhx, and the spring is longer than the standard fox one so the 3' one would never fit! i barely got the 2.75 one on there, i had to compress the spring with my hand to get the bottom spring plate thing on! but it fits so ur sound  Wink
