[Closed] Yeti 575 Fork clearance with Fox 36

Has anyone on here fitted a set of fox 36's to the last generation of 26" Yeti 575s? Local shop has said they think there's a clearance issue with the top of the crown and the underside of the downtube. Although I don't plan on bar spins, I don't exactly want a massive dent/crack caused by an inevitable spill and the crown smacking into the frame!

Same question for fox 34 (just in case...)

No not yet, though that's probably a good shout!

I ride a 2011 575 )XL) with same year Fox 36s fine, though perhaps the newer models are different.

Mine's the same year but a size medium (I wonder if that's where the problems may lie...) although looking around it looks like a lot of people have run them.

Planning on entering it into a few races next year, and part of me just want to beef the front end up a litle, not too bothered about another 10mm of travel but just something stiffer. Wondering if the fox 34's will do the job just nicely and keep it nice and light, or to go all out for the big boys!

I found Fox fork top controls on my 2011 575 did interfere with the underslung hoses/cables but not the downtube but they were 32s. Now have no such problems with Pikes so must have lower drop on crown.
