Default DA Front forks same a DC forks???

Ok... I have tokico blue sturts and I got the backs on no problem. I took my forks of my DA and tired putting the fork the strut but the strut is too round big... do the DC forks have a bigger circle to fit these struts, maybe they're DC struts instead of DA... any help ASAP would be appreciate

DA and DC front shock forks are different. You can, however, put on a DC shock on the rear of a DA.

I guess my post was a little misleading. I was answering the OP on whether or not the front shock forks were different on the DA and DC. And yes, you can put in EG/DC front shock forks on a DA.

Well I knew DC Forks can go on a DA but not the other way around... my problem is my g/f's cousin I got the stuff from doesn't know if they were DC Forks or DA forks.... I know my DA Forks wouldn't fit the circumference of the bottom of the strut... do the DC Forks have a bigger circumference?

I have a set of DC forks in front of me....I can measure the diameter....give me a second

I didn't have a tape measure, so here is my estimates
the dc fork opening is slightly less than 2" diameter, and the approx. 5 1/4" circumference.
If I find my tape measure, I'll give you exact measurements...hope that's of some help for now.
are there any stampings on your fork?

cool, but I'm not selling my forks right now, I'll maybe look to sell them in a couple weeks depending on what I do with my other suspension pieces that I'll have up for sale. check back with me in a couple weeks.
or give your local junkyard a try (or even the ht classifieds for someone parting out) for a wrecked dc teg, you might be able to grab the forks off one of those.
