Powerfly Dropper post options for a PowerFly 4 HT?

[spicker]

Anyone put a dropper on a Powerfly 4 HT? Looking at options for my partners bike, which is a Small. There's a local selling a Fox Performance Elite 31.6mm, 175mm drop, which looks to fit the bill nicely. The small has a 330mm standard post on the bike now.

Small Powerfly 5 hardtail for my wife. I think it came with a 100mm dropper. I took the 130mm dropper off my PF 5 HT and installed it on her small trek. It fits her much better now. (I told her it was a new upgrade …I’m trying to qualify for a new Zeb fork for the Rail). I also added a new “ladies” saddle at the same time.

Right. Ideally the extended height would be at her current seat height. I'm new to droppers and suspension components - it's been a while since my last new MTB.

She definitely likes the added hight.
I did the dropper dance awhile ago, Dropper post, Powerfly 5, small. - EMTB Forums ,with the bikes until everyone was happy. The 130mm dropper in her bike was a Bontrager model so the install was fairly straight forward. Installed a better controller also.
All this dancing around with droppers eventually got me a 170mm AXS Reverb. After a 7 month wait …I was finally happy .

The stock dropper on my Levo is fine for now. Just took some getting used to, to get it to drop, since it's all new to me. But I do like having the dropper a lot. Aside, I almost went with the AXS GX derailleur kit when I blew up mine, which I know would have pushed me to the AXS dropper too. But if I destroyed my current GX, what would stop me from blowing up the AXS one too? ANYWAY - thanks for the input, I'll have to take some measurements to find out the right fit.

I worried about destroying the AXS GX derailer too. But it’s only tears , and the price of an AXS derailer has dropped a few hundred bucks . (I’m not making any sense here).

Picked up a 125mm dropper for the misses’ bike. I guess I need to drop the motor for the internal cable routing? I managed to get it threaded from the battery compartment to the seat tube and up through, but I can’t get the cable in a place that’s out of the way for the battery to go back in
