    What forks do you have now? Rock Shox Recon 351 130mm?
    About the Fox, 32 means that diametar of the stanchions is 32mm and 36 for 36mm.
    32 forks come with 140mm of travel (adjustable or not), and 36 come with 160mm and 20mm axel.

    So the 32's should be better than the Recon and you only have just 10mm of travel increase wich is a good thing, but you can't put 36 because you'll have to buy new hub and you'll lose your waranty of the frame if it still have it.

    I'd still check with Trek about 140mm forks - may be out of the warranty. And I don't think you'd notice much, if any diffeecne over the Recon. It is a good fork.
