Default Quick question about shocks

I'm putting new shock oil into my shocks. I notice after I put them back together if I compress them all the way they push the shaft out about half an inch. Is this normal or should it stay stationary.

This is called rebound. Some people like it some don't. When I run sprung I like about .5" of rebound, and when I run droop I use zero rebound.

So its normal for the shock to do this. Good I was thinking I did something wrong.

before you tighten the cap all the way slowly push shaft all the way in then tighten the cap
