Hi,
Hopeing someone can help! I'm possibly looking to upgrade the forks on my bike.
I have a nukeproof mega alloy, 2021 27.5, Pro version – here for ref https://nukeproof.com/products/2021-mega-275-alloy
The bike currently has Lyrik Select+ https://www.sram.com/en/rockshox/models/fs-lyrk-selp-d1
But I've found a good deal on the Zeb Ultimate, https://www.sram.com/en/rockshox/models/fs-zeb-ult-a2
As far as I can see, everything is pretty much the same – Steer Tube both 1.5 etc.
The only thing I'm not sure on, it that the Lyrik+ on RS website says "Upper Turbe Type: 35mm tapered wall alluminum" but the Zeb is "Upper Tube Type 38mm aluminum"
Does anyone know if the Zeb would be compatible with my bike?
Thanks for any help!

All you need to know for drop-in compatibility is steerer tube size, travel, axle, and offset. If all those are identical it’ll swap right in.
Some of these are fine varying, including offset and length, but they can/will change how the bike rides.
The diameter of the stanchions (the 35mm vs. 38mm) don’t matter for bike fit.
That refers to the stanchion thickness. The zeb has a little burlier stanchions because it’s made for enduro riding. Aside from cutting the steerer tube to size, there won’t be much else you will have to do.
