Is there a story behind this fork? Or the bike? Specialized's website seems to think that Suntour forks were the only ones used on the 2008 Hardrock, with 100mm of travel for all frames except the smallest (12"). The HRXC bikes are the only ones I can find that Specialized claims used the Capa RST T26 forks. It sure
looks like your bike should have a 100mm fork installed. If that's the case, you'll want the Surly Instigator rigid fork.
