I currently own a silver Rockshox Tora trail 289 (non u-turn) with 100mm of travel.
I have been looking at diagrams of the fork and looking at the parts available. I have found that it would be possible for me to buy a 120mm spring for the fork and a 120mm coil shaft and negative spring for about £25. Im wondering if there would be any problems if i was to replace these 2 parts during a service to increase the travel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on advice of more parts needed etc.

    Does yours have the 80-130 lower leg or the 80-115, if it’s the latter it may not go to 120!

    looking at the spare parts catalog it seems to be saying the trail ones from 2006 to 2011 have the 80-130mm lowers
