Marocchi Bomber CR shock spring advice needed

[ForkinGreat]

Keen to buy the Bomber CR to try coil on my banshee prime. specs say I need 185x55 trunnion, but what coil will fit it?
acc to cyclinic's spring calculator I'll need a 650 or 700lbs spring, (because I'm a heavy khunt)
2.3in (stroke??) seems to be the closest thing to 55mm, (which is actually 2.165in)

We've developed a super simple spring-rate calculator to simplify the process of choosing the right spring for you. It's not a perfect science, but it will take the guesswork out of getting the most suitable spring rate based on rider weight, bike type and travel. Test it out today. E-Bike mtb...

Ohlins, EXT, SAR, Fox and Cane Creek springs fit the Bomber.
Anything equal or longer than the shocks 55mm stroke will be fine eg Valt 57mm/2.25"

DVO make a progressive with a different span to Cane Creek if you want that type of spring. NS Dynamics have them.

I have a one ride old bomber 185x52.5 trunnion with a 650lb cane creek spring for sale atm... I was led to believe the only difference between the 52.5 and 55mm is a 2.5mm spacer under the bump stop which can be removed easily enough...I replace it with an EXT Storia v3 on my Norco Sight... message me if you are interested

If you go standard steel these are your options:

039-03-019	Spring: [4.954 TLG X 1.385 ID X 650 lbs/in, 2.300 Travel] Black
039-03-009	Spring: [5.701 TLG X 1.385 ID X 700 lbs/in, 2.550 Travel] Black

If you go with a "SLS" spring (which is just a more expensive and lightweight spring, which I don't think is good value if you are already a heaviery rider)

your options would be:

033-22-011	Spring: 2019 [1.385in ID X 650lb/in X 2.4in/61mm Travel X 4.97in TLG] SLS
033-22-012	Spring: 2019 [1.385in ID X 700lb/in X 2.4in/61mm Travel X 4.97in TLG] SLS
