So Im rebuilding my DHX shock and the IFP valve was all crooked in there making it impossible for me to measure it.

I have a general idea of where it should be but lets say I'd like to experiment a little and play with different depths...

What will be the consequences of this?

it will affect how progressive the shock is. I suppose with too little of depth that a seal may blow.

Set it too shallow and you won't get full travel and risk an oil leak. Set it too deep and you won't have much ramp up at the end of the travel. What stroke is your DHX?

I measured it @ 68mm and I2I is 225mm

also, if you set it too high with a dhx you run the risk having it contact the internal volume adjustment if you run it full closed. not a good idea.

off the top of my head i want to say the depth measurement is in the ballpark of 37mm, but its been a while since i had a dhx apart.

not much reason to play with ifp depth on the DHX, the blue volume adjustment essentially does just that for you.

see post above ^^
