I currently have a 2020 trek roscoe 8. And I want to get a full sus frame, and put all the parts onto it. Im not sure what frames would be right so any help would be much appreciated

I might recommend a coffee maker upgrade, but your cabinets and backsplash look great.
Honestly I’d keep the Roscoe as is, I upgraded to a full sus and found myself missing my hardtail on some of my easier local trails. Maybe pick up a GT Sensor if Jenson USA has any in stock in your size as they are on a very heavy sale rn.
Full sus
Get something based on the same travel fork.
your first upgrade that you can do for free is to make sure you route that front brake hose properly.
should be like this:

also mentions in your owners manual to route inside of the lower leg arch, not outside: [https://tech.ridefox.com/img/help/page2839-HZFA/inline/605-00-255%20REV%20A%20-%202021%20Marzocchi%20Forks%20Owners%20Guide.pdf](https://tech.ridefox.com/img/help/page2839-HZFA/inline/605-00-255%20REV%20A%20-%202021%20Marzocchi%20Forks%20Owners%20Guide.pdf)
Where do you ride? What are the trails like? Full squish is not really necessary for most trails to be honest.
You need to throw out the fatbike tires and get a set of some nice 2,40 width tires
Rest of the parts would fit any 140mm frame
You need to buy a rear shock ofc
Nah dude. Don’t do that! That is a beautiful kick ass hardtail that can last many years to come. With the crazy deals I’ve been seeing, just get a complete full suspension. Ive seen some 2018-2020 ones on FB for $800-1600 regularly. The covid era ones are sometimes basically new.
