4200: Wanted Used/Blown Skyhook dampers

[Zep]

You can damage dampers on lowered cars (in general) what happens is the damper bottoms out and damages the valve at the bottom of the tube. Usually because the bump stops have been cut or damaged after being struck so often.

It is possible to split a welded damper. You would cut the body and then thread a top cap (and install a gas port if they’re gas filled) so you can rebuild them.

I agree, but in this case the implication is that lowering say a 4200 to GS ride height (the springs are the same) would in some way damage the shock, which I just don’t think is true. If you did it to the point where the springs were lose on droop, then yes, it’s probably a bit iffy.

I inderstand that when Greg at PCCP did rebuild them, that’s exactly what they did.
