Do you think I'd get away with this? - a to c is 532mm, currently run 140mm Rev's at 518mm

probably pushing it but doable

I find it hard to keep the front down on steep climbs at 140 so 150 would be worse. Can you get a 140 spring unit for the pikes?

It'll possibly invalidate your warranty also - as I think they are only rated at 140mmm

As above. I think it says on yeti warranty only up to 140mm.

Might be worse than you think too if all this 'rides high' malarky is true.

pretty sure warranty is up to 150mm but I think it's out of warranty anyway

STW had a long term alloy 5 with 150mm forks, but being DT I imagine they'd be shorter A2C
