Hey all I’ve got a 2022 stumpy alloy and I’m looking to increase travel (front and rear) as I have started doing bigger and bigger jumps. Would this 170mm zeb be able to fit onto my bike? I apologize but I’m not too experienced when it comes to upgrading

Edit: rear shock upgrade tips are also very helpful to me lol
The fork should fit for sure, but you need to measure the steerer tube of your current fork and compare it to this one, also check on specialized website too see if increasing travel will void the warranty.
Your 2022 bike has likely got the 140mm fork.
Putting a 170mm up front is going to change the bike a lot. Your frame has 130mm travel so that is a big differential from rear to front on a frame that wasn’t designed for it.
The geometry will suck for anything other than descending.
You can not increase rear travel unless the frame was specifically designed for changing travel.
