You can run it at 4" until you get your new frame.
Tora's are cheap and pretty nice. I think it's the unsung hero of the blue collar MTB world. If you can find a '05--'06 Fox Vanilla for sale, they are internally convertible to 4" and mine was pretty nice. If you got coin...go for the PIKE though.
+1. I have the recon u-turn and it's a nice fork; 4.5 lbs, lots of travel, fairly stiff.
