    you need the same as you have now.

    you can not just fit a longer shock.

    Its a flip flop link so i can turn it over and put a 200mm in
    then i was thinking of a BETD link where you can fit a 6" shock
    this is the route im thinkin
    ?
    so you can upgrade just need to know if anyone has done it
    and what size
