Got some damage on my Fox 36 stanchions and they need replaced. Silverfish sell them. Plugged my serial number into the Fox site which confirms they are:
2018, 36, A, FLOAT, 29in, P-S, 150, Grip, 3Pos, Matte Blk, No Logo, 15QRx110, 1.5 T, 51mm Rake, N/M OE
They’re off my Hightower LT and although they came as 150mm I’ve had the travel increased to 160mm and I know they’ll go to 170mm.
On the Silverfish site, the exact match is out of stock with no delivery date:

However in my head, all I need is a set of 29er stanchions suitable for 160mm travel and boost hubs. Therefore could I buy a set that were listed as 170mm, seeing as my existing forks can go to 170mm, and I would be ok?
Also, does the fork offset/ rake actually effect the CSU and stanchions in any way? I didn’t think it would but Fox seem to list the offset in the details for the different CSUs but I only assumed this would impact the lowers???
