Good morning. I searched and didn’t get a result that solved my issue. I’ve got DL 90mm on a vs4-10. Right side shocks rebound to full extension, although controlled due to shock oil weight. Left side settles and will rebound about halfway. They’re all built the same way. Hoping a shock expert will weigh in and give me guidance on what to fix. They’re installed body down with the droop setup and the shock oil they were shipped with. Thanks in advance.

check the fluid levals if there to full they wont compress all the way and can even push the piston out like a extra spring
 
Yup, usually a fluid level issue. Could be some stiction on the rings too.

Having said that, I am a bit confused.

Body side down in droop configuration means there shouldn't really be much of any rebound at all. Sounds more like they are built in the standard set-up. In droop, they are basically sitting on the 4 small springs above the piston and there's not a lot of room for variance there. Got a pic of how it is sitting at rest? Maybe it will help clarify.

I've got 3 now with that exact set-up (Body down in droop) and it works very well once the kinks are worked out.
