Received today 2022 DHX2 and piggy bag is touching frame for 1mm. Now let's see if they can change it for shorter

That's disappointing. I just ordered a 2022 float X2 in 230x65...wonder if I'll have the same issue on my s4 frame?

my bike is s4. Now I am sending back DHX2. Fox guy told me that it's not possible to change the reservoir for a shorter one.

Is the dhx2 240x62.5 size or 65mm?

230x65
Fox don't have 62,5 model for DHX2

Tried to fit my pre 2021 MY X2 factory 230x65 to my S4 frame. The air can is to big and was knocking on the lower linkage. The air can on the new X2 might be smaller in diameter, though.

Bummer! Well I'll try the 2022 X3 when it arrives and report back. Worst case I'll send it in to fox to have it reduced to 62.5.
A different reservoir isn't required, but changing the length to 62.5mm is...This is an easy change to do internally. I've been running it for months and works great. The length is your issue.
Easy to do.

maybe you are right but I just don't get how different length will stop hitting the frame. length 230 will be the same so piggyback will be on the same spot as now.

Did it touch lower linkage when the shock is it's full lenght or when the stroke is it's minimum (when the shock is it's minimum lenght)

touched at the half of stroke. With stock shox it's really close maybe 2mm of space. 
I already send back DHX2.

Touched when the shock was fully extended. Reducing stroke to 62.5 could indeed help since the air can will sit bit higher in the frame.

It will sit the same as now, reducing the stroke to 62.5 doesn't change physically anything outwardly. It changes a sag behavior at same percentage, but won't help you.
2022 is same diameter, but the piggy back is lot shorter.

Ugly potato photo for now, but very happy with how it's starting to look so wanted to share :- ). I've been sick with bronchial inflammation for 5 weeks though, finally getting better, so zero riding, just staring at it.
KSL Comp. Added 2022 X2 Factory and Zeb Ultimate. Deity T-Mac pedals, and my old Enve DH bar/Renthal Duo cockpit. Tomorrow comes SQ-Lab Infinergy 60X saddle and will add my E13 wheelset, just need to decide on winter tyre combo. Probably keeping the T9 Butcher for back with CushCore Pro, and if that ends up being still bit weak, then swapping to dual-ply plus Cush but want to try the weight saving first.

As @George_yt said, it doesn't shorten you shock total length. Same eye-to-eye lenght

Nice bike. My advice is to keep the front tyre Butcher T9. It's really good and well dampened.
T9 at the rear is too draggy.

I have few scenarios, it's all mainly for Winter which is very slippery and leafy (and the snowy) here, and I also bring my kid on or have my Siberian Husky leashed in front, so maximum traction is ok with me, it's e-bike :- ). For Spring I would get rid of soft rear tyre if it ends up feeling too much.
1) Butcher T9 front & Back, Trail Casing. CushCore Pro in back, CushCore XC in front.
2) My usual Dual-Ply E13 TRS LG, Soft in back, and SuperSoft in front. That + CushCore gets bit heavy... but once I tried CushCore recently, I can't live without. I just can't decide if I still need dual-ply which I really like alone.
3) T9 or E13 in back, but actual mid Spike in front like Hillbilly. I never tried that type of tyre, which seems one notch above Magic Mary so I don't know what those drawbacks look like in reality when the tire squirms..
If I had lighter carbon wheelset, number 2 would be great, but I gave it away to my wife for her LevoSL, to bring that one down to super-light territory :- ).

Thanks for this information. Was hoping I could use my old X2 on KSL. Seems it won’t work out.

Nice bike. I rode 3 times with the stock tyres and did not enjoyed a lot. Ordered my favorite combo, Magic Mary and Hans Dampf, cant wait to ride again tomorrow

Here's the size difference between the he 2022 X2 vs older. Reservoir is certainly smaller on the 22 model. I'm gonna try fitting the 230x65 X2 to see if it fits with the smaller reservoir. If not I'll get the stroke shimmed to 62.5

Sounds crazy to put a 241 shock in this high engineered bike......or other words, it simply makes absolut no sense, even when if really fits into. The result would be horrific and your hope that 6 possible Geosettings will fix it will not work.
And the shock on top of your Pic is not MJ 2023, it's 2021 or max 2022.
And the bottom shock is 2020 or older.

Anybody who replaced the shock on a S-Works frame with a coil willing to sell me his/her X2 factory?
I‘m interested, located in Europe.
