As suspected no numbers on the factory fork springs, and the rear shock was in fact a 5.2 as identified in the charts. Springs have been replaced and a ride this Friday will be scheduled. A few notes from installation is the fork oil levels were at about 130-140 mm from the top edge with everything compressed. I added oil to both sides to get them up to 110 mm as per the newly posted 2019 OC manual on the beta site. Not sure if there was a change in the 2020 forks that called for less oil, but I guess we will see on Friday. Also, even with the 5.6 rear springs I had to turn the collar about 3.5 times to get the static sag to 38mm which is just over the 35mm recommended in the users manual. The fork wear rings are about 50% cut through after 5 hours so I will be ordering something with little more protection and maybe doing a little heat gun work with the fork guards. They have been rubbing pretty good since day one, and can't get them to stop with any adjusting of the bolts.
