i'm looking at the fork, not the shock. i'm told that people worry about running 66 ata 's cranked down to like 160 or 140mm and running them like that.

i really would not worry about an air fork, or shock for that matter. i weight 260 lbs on any given day and have thrashed many air forks and shocks. be leave it or not i have actually had two major failures and only one failure on and air fork (some how it got scratched on the inside of the stanction). i have had one coil fail on a fork, it broke in half, and there was no spring bind. it must have been a bad spring from the factory. that other failure that i have had was that some how the eyelet on the shock shaft came off, the company didn't warranty!!.

like i said i have only had one warranty related to an air spring and that is after owning many, 10+, air forks or shocks throughout the years.

btw i have done drops up to the 10' range on air products. personally i like the ramp up characteristics or air products. its very hard to bottom them all the way out.
