Hope you got the 2023 Version with BUTTERCUP DAMPER system on Debonair+, if you bought the 2.1 ZEB setup only the ZEB can be gutted and upgraded to the Buttercup Damper 3.0 Setup that came out as a 2023 Item but is for sale now.

if mullet you can go 190 then.
i am doing normal 29er front and back i should be ok with 190? i should be better geometry than your mullet set up?
I am looking to keep with 27.5inch rims, but I need serious travel for big drops, & want it to be smooth. I keep leaning towards the new 2023 Buttercup Damper 3.0 by RockShox, & Fox Grid2, what's the best rear shock for someone like me 5'11.75 height 150lbs? going off an 8foot drop is the goal, without damaging the E-10 Frame. do you think it's possible?

You might want a boxxer or fox 40 set at 190. At 190 on a single crown fork doing drops chances are youll run into creaky CSU's. Triple clamp all day for drops and at 190mm the axle to crown is the same as a zeb/38 at 180
