Vivid Air Bottomless Ring Install?

I've removed the can and regretted buying the plastic holder tool. Not necessary. When I inquired about volume reducers over the summer I was told they don't exist.

Those are them there. I went by SRAM and had Joe there install 4 rungs into it for me. I can still bottom it out when bunny hopping it! I am gonna go back after new year and have him top it off with as many as it will hold.....

I looked at the service pdf and it shows that when I had the air can off I coulda just pulled the inner sleeve out and slid volume rings on it. Huh. Weird no one at Rockshox knew about this when I asked a few months ago. There's a chart saying how many rings you can fit in different length shocks. 10, 12, or 13

What frame? I'm 170lb on a Nomad. I usually like a pretty linear spring so I can have only 30% sag and a firm ride but still use full travel. With the Monarch shock I'm content with the stock spring curve at 212psi. Wiith the Vivid I run 180-185 and get a good sag and feel but bottom it or nearly bottom more often than I should. The service pdf also mentioned changing to a firmer bump stop so that's another way to firm up the last 20% of travel.
just throwing this out there... are you sure you have the right shock tune for the frame?
For a moment, I thought this was a P0rn Monkey thread.
