you can "dab out" some oil onto a rag or paper towel so you get more inbound movement(don't pull out the bladder from the cap once you have it seated), I usually leave about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch of hydro-lock space from the bottom of the shock body to the top of the shock eyelet threads. do you use associated's green slime grease on your spacers and o-rings? also to get nice smooth rebound, unobtanium "gold" coated shock shafts help too.
