I have a Socom and would like to get the definitive answer of the proper coil spring for the frame with a Fox DHX 5.0. I believe it needs 3" of stroke to get full travel. My bike purchased used had a 2.75" stroke coil spring. I need to possible go up in rate so I need to get the specs correct to make the purchase of the new coil spring. I have heard 2.75" through 3.25" was correct so if anyone could help. Thanks.

Fox spec the springs generally at 3.25" but it will be fine on it.
Generally within 0.25" length wise you will be fine.
Mine came with a 3.25" from new, when I swapped out to the CCDB I had a 3.0" & its still fine.
