if it's currently a fox, you should be able to use a fox again. The measurement would be 300x3.25 or 280x3.25. You may be able to find one for the Roco on CRC.

They only have for rockshox vivds and foxs,I might be able to get one from eBay tho?

Could also contact these guys to make up a spring for you, using the existing one as a guide for measurements etc.

I don't think that's right. Eye to Eye is 216 on that shock

hmmm... then the numbers on the coil aren't correct.

Karl might have man handled a longer coil in there.

So he put the wrong size?

[Kalahari Vegmot]

You are using grammar!!!!! Are you feeling okay bud?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

dunno, but not necessarily. As long as it fits on the shock body, the coil has the required stroke (3.5" in this case, which is higher than any 216mm e2e shock you get) then it'll work. If it's slightly too long for the shock body, and it's been compressed to fit in there, then it'll have some pre-load on it already which means you'll need to have a bigger hit to get it to move. 

 

But - going on your size, a 350 spring is most likely too heavy for you anyway. 

[Duane_Bosch]

Possibly but it's not necessarily a bad thing. If the spring is too short that's a bad thing. That causes a thing called Spring Bind.

cough cough ride a medium large...

ya pottie told me i was to light for a 350,the bike doesn't eat the ruts like my shova with a 300 and with less travel

[Super_mil]

The big number is the amount of force (in lbs) required to compress the spring by 1 inch.

The bigger the number the stiffer the spring.

 

The second number is the amount the spring can compress (in inches) before it binds (i.e. the coils of the spring start to touch). 

 

So,if your shocks stroke is say 2.5" you can run a spring with 2.5" or more travel, but you may run into issues with the overall length of the spring (which it sounds like you're currently experiencing).

Chain reaction normally has steel springs at a good price.

 

I'd also suggest you burn some bandwidth watching andrextr videos on Youtube regarding suspension and suspension setup. There is some good info there.
