60 mm ID spring, 6"-7" tall, maybe a helper spring (the super low spring rate kind, no pressure to collapse, just ensures the main spring isn't totally loose at full droop) and adapter if going low (you can try without and pick one up later if it's needed), the only trick is the top spring perch to mate to the top hat which is super easy to machine, and that might be what @
Pat is implying with the Vorshlag suggestion, that they already have a spring perch and suggested spring they can ship you.
This guy did something similar, I wouldn't follow his process exactly but he was pretty happy with his end setup.
