Funny how things suddenly come to mind when you are doing something =
completely different.
Whilst the rebound strap is on the axle the damper mount IS below the =
spring. If you fit 1" (say) lowering blocks between the axle and the =
spring, positioning the axle closer to the body (and so lowering the =
ride height), then the axle can move 1" further down before the STANDARD =
rebound strap stops it, hence the damper mounting plate has moved 1" =
further down than normal. It's this that could result in the damper =
hitting its lower limit before the rebound strap stops the axle. =20
I think!
Easy enough to check - when the strap is carrying the weight of the axle =
it should twang like a bow-string, and there should be a little more =
downward movement of the damper mounting plate below the spring. If =
not, then shorter webbing straps can be made up in the US and the UK, or =
it may be possible to 'shorten' one with some kind of clamp that puts a =
tight curve in it under tension instead of being straight.
