Hi i was looking to upgrade my Rear shock on my '08 Stinky. I was thinking of a DHX AIR 5.0. Any opinions?

Also was wondering of the correct size? Is it 8.5x2.5?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

    sizes are on www.konaworld.co.uk go to konatech.

    and i would not get the DHX air yet as there are still too many issues with Air AH/FR shocks.

    i run the dhx5 coil on my bike and its sweets as mate. to get the size and the right spring, just give fox a call they are very helpfull, just give them your weight with all your ridin gear on and make, model and year of your frame they can tell which 1 you need good luck.
