fox rear shock advice please

sansom

Hi,
A friend of a friend is selling a 2011 fox float R rear shock (216mm x 64mm) without bushings.

I've not fitted one of these before, will my current bushings suffice or do I need to budget in the cost of new bushings?

Does the size matter? I understand this is the bigger version of the shock, but I mean naively do all rear shocks fit all bikes?

Also, the propedal set up has been changed by Mojo to a medium setting to prevent pedal bob that the guy was getting previously

Cheers
Pete

Size very much matters ;-) You have to use the same eye to eye and stroke length as the one you have. Will not work with your boardman.
