Need Help Destroyed another shock

[silver69camaro]

I had one fail like that but it failed due to a sudden drop in the road, not compression. I think these shocks do not like a lot of preload on the spring. At least that is my thinking but I have no analysis to support it.

What brand was it?

Sorry, same brand, Varishock. To be fair they took both of them back and rebuilt them for me no charge. I have had no issues since changing spring rate to require less preload.
