I am hoping someone is still following this thread, so here it goes. I upgraded to the special damper, but noticed a had a ton of pod sag. I had heard that adding spacers to the inside of the shock shaft to reduce down travel would help. So I added some and was able to greatly reduce the pod sag. The flip side is that due to the reduced down travel, the tension on the spring is huge. Is this the trade off to reducing pod sag, a tensed up spring?
