I dont have a clue about what forks to put on a 02 model santa cruz bullit. Would it take 8 inches, 7 inches or would it be fine with whatever you put on it.
Thanks guys

seven or eight inches is fine,
I think they have a 7.5 rear end and were designed for free ride, they are great for downhill, tuff as anything out there. I had eight inches up front, massive clearance at the bb for plowing rockgardens but you probably lose a little through the corners, still a bunch of fun.
Put some 40s on there, should look the business too with the chunky tubes of the bullit.

I've had Boxxers on mine ... but now have Fox 36 Floats ... very noice. (6" front vs 7" rear) feels a little more balanced then with the Boxxers ... then again ... that could just be weight differences

yes, but if the boxxers are of the same vintage then they are 7" not 8.
8 inch forks would rake it out a little too much, imho. I'd go for 6 to 7 inch as that's what the bike was designed around.

Thanks heaps
I was in a real pickle about if I would be able to use 7inch forks on it for DH.

The frame was designed for a 7 inch travel fork . You can run 8 inch but the biggest problem will be that the bb will rise and it will effect the bikes handling / cornering . Running a 8 inch travel fork could also put a strain on the head tube . Id go 7 inch travel for , maybe some totems ore 36 ers .

The 03/04 super t pro`s are the ones you want for the bullit < 03`s if can get them> . The junior t`s are pretty average , too soft and sponge . You cant get them firm enough and they bottom out badly .
