<DIV><FONT size=2>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.

<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
