To keep the strut from bottoming hard, take it apart and plug holes in the top valve plate. Tap them and put 8/32 set screws in the holes. Do!not tap all they way through so the set screw can bottom out in the hole. After I did this on mine, I can take really big hits and still haven't he soft ride that a low bottom chamber pressure provides. If I remember correctly, I plugged 5 of the 8 holes in the rear and six in the front. If you are careful you will not lose any oil. The top and bottom caps seal with orings and I have not had any trouble out of them.I have also experimented with different viscosity and amounts of shock oil.
