I have my F100RL apart right now because I'm painting the lowers and the crown. It looks like the bushings are pretty worn so I searched here and found this thread: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=89035&page=3&highlight=fox+f100+travel
The jist of it being that if you move the spacer and pin, you can go from 80mm to 100mm and vice versa. Well my 2005 F100 has three holes, one at 100mm (stock), one at 80mm and one at 130mm.
I measured the damper and fully compressed, it measures 14.25", fully entended it measures 19" (a difference of 4.75", or ~120mm).
In theory I could move the spacer and pin to 130mm, with a 10mm spacer underneath and have 120mm of travel. Ideally I'd like to grab some spacers and make it 110mm since none of my frames are designed for more than 100mm. 110 would allow me to run a bit more sag and slacken the head angles just a bit.
