The basics:
Bullit with 5th E, 325lb spring, 125 psi air pressure.

When I preload the shock for a jump, I hear a clunk when I leave the ground. If I press down on the seat to compress the shock, when I release it, I hear and feel the clunk too. It occurs at the end of the rebound stroke, when the shock reaches the limit.

I tried adjusting the rebound dampening for slower rebound, but it didn't help, in fact it doesn't appear to have done anything at all. Compression feels normal.

Is this normal, and I just never noticed it before? Should I send it in to Progressive? Should I ignore it and keep riding? Am I doing more damage by continuing to ride?

Thanks for any help.

if the shock is topping harshly, its usually good to get a rebuild, so yes send it in

try more rebound, your DU bushing could be loose too.

you would probably notice this but im asking anyways. is there any play in the spring(like not tightened down enough) ive seen it before.

Thanks for the replies.

I sent it in to Progreesive and got it fixed up and sent back in under 2 weeks, and free under warranty too. Progressive service and support is top notch.
