does anybody converted DHX2 imperial to metric? I have 8,5x2,5' (216x63mm) and would like to convert it to 230x65. From what I checked parts needed:
1. shaft
2. outer body tube
3. inner tube (updated)
4. piston with valving (updated)
The body with adjusters, reservoir, another end bushing eye, sealhead looks like the same. If anybody can cofnirm that would be great.

LOL. Unfortunately you didnt help

You will need that spacer for metric shocks. Or you can leave old diameter piston, buy parts for 241x76 shock and install 11mm spacer.

Im afraid old parts are unavailable and new imperial got smaller piston. Also this 11mm spacer need to be under the piston inside shock. Thats good idea

Damping cartridges are also different for smaller diameter piston.
Yes spacer needs to be beetween sealhead and piston: https://www.foxracingshox.de/8719/s...-9mm-0.25-piston-dhx2-u-cup-230-205-t-x-65/60

240x76 shaft looks like unavailable.
Edit: it is available from 2017, but has different product number

So even shafts threads has changed since 2016. This conversion gets too complicated.
