Damn it, I'm close to tearing all my hair out now, I ordered a set of springs from the part number in my XT8 manual which I didn't really want to do as there are only 3 hardnesses in the range, I went for the stock hard blue, and they arrived today, fronts are the same as my existing fronts but I swapped them for shiny new ones anyway, rears don't fit they are too small in diameter this time, it looks like my rear shocks aren't Xray ones and are semi big bores, being half way between XT8 and XT8'09 diameter. at this point I don't know what to do, I have spent near $50 on springs and still have the same strength springs I started with, could have bought a new set of shocks for that Had I known they weren't XRay ones. I cant keep throwing good money after bad and buy new shocks too at this point.

Anyone know what truggy has grey anodized shock bodies, clip length adjustment rather than threaded collars, one piece grey alloy top caps, rubber shock shaft covers, 17mm/.672" shock body diameter, 20mm/.79" diameter spring seats and are 125mm/4.9" long hole to hole? maybe if someone can Identify them I can get some springs that actually fit before I do something stupid.
