Hoofa,

I love your work and your ingenuity, but the real issue at hand is not on the compression stroke but on the extension as the shock can only extend an addition 2" before maximum travel has been achieved, thus causing the stress fractures because the shaft cannot extend further than it's maximum length vs the additional 1-1.5" of suspension travel on uneven roads or potholes allows in real world driving. Think of pull instead of push on the shaft and you'll understand where I am coming from.
