I read the info on their site same as you. It's just an unusual inclusion as it doesn't really match the forks likely to be used.
Gt fury from cyclingdeals, info please

I read this to mean that it comes with a tapered headset but with two crown races (1.5 and a 1 1/8 reducer). Still doesn’t help with the 1.5 straight through though!
Headset and Adapters Included. Fits 1-1/8" straight and 1-1/8" - 1-1/2" steerer forks

Not that I know of, thought you were just joking about a 200mm lefty, that would be a dream fork
Bolt two 110mm lefties end to end.

Hey guys, I have got this shock for the bike, just wondering if all fox fittings are the same size or if I need hardware specific for the bike.
Also, don't suppose that any of you have heard of any shops selling old,new downhill forks, not the zoom or dnm though.
Came across a place called topbikes.com in Indonesia, guess they are too good to be true, reviews.

All I can say is that I hope it comes all put together, spring attached.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
I'm going to hazard a guess and say that shock needs a service. Get a split collar for holding the spring while you're at it. You will also need a suitable spring (duh!) and shock hardware. Use vernier calipers to measure the size of the shock bolts (usually 8 or 6mm) and the internal width of the top and bottom shock mount. See this video

What he said.
Most likely 8mm shock bolt on DH bike. Will be 12.7mm (1/2”) eyelets. Width of hardware varies with each bike...except Orange which has run 22mm both ends for ever).
This might help with sizing.

I just went through all this with the GT I bought from cyclingdeal for Mrs Tubbsy.
I measured the relevant bits with callipers, emailed Cyclinic and they sent me what I needed. Different frame from yours though, so I don't think the bits will be the same. Numbers look slightly oddball from not having the callipers 100% straight, but there aren't that many variations, just round up or down to the nearest standard.
I used a new shock though, @safreek's looks like the DU bushings might be worse for wear/missing?
You might need the tool to push them out/in - I'd stump up for the service as @Oddjob says (have to send you a message actually OJ), get it all sorted in one go.

Is this the 5 part kit I have seen. I checked the tftuned site you showed me but only offered me some old gt to choose from.

Site was to get your widths, not buy.

So, once it has the bushings or nonbush kit all I need is that metal sleevy bit that the bolts go through.
So should I just measure the distance between the two bolt holes and get the sleeve thing at the same length.
Pardon my ignorance as I have never started from scratch with a shock or frame
