Hi all, I've owned an 08 stump jumper expert fsr from new. It has the fox/specialized rear shock with the brain unit. I've always thought it bobbed under climbing more than it should so I've decided to experiment with a different rear shock. I've bought a float rpl with slightly more stroke and if it is better than stock I'll get it shimmed down.
So, turns out that the stock shock has bushings in the mounting eyelets to allow for the shock movement. Anyone done this swap and can show me what bushings to get to fit my float shock in my stumoy?
Cheers in advance!

Will they not be the same - standard fox 'eye' and same frame?

Yes, they seem to be but the old bushes are seized solid in the eyelets!

Or if stuck, send the whole thing to them and they'll do it for you.
