The rebound cartridge is messed up. It has failed internally and is no traveling through its entire stroke. You can always do the Open Bath mod. which instructions on how to do it are on here on PB somewhere.

And worse comes to worse it is a warranty issue so if you can find a shop who deals with marzo they should be able to get it fixed for you if you aren't confident in doing it yoursf

yea called marz',no biggie,they will convert to fork to open bath for 70$.i'll ask about the warranty thing although being 6 yearold forks doubt thwy'll cover.
So I lowered my 2015 CR Slope to 100mm. Literally took me 30 minutes. Removed the lowers and the air piston after removing the snap clip.
Added a third (two in pic) spacer to the spring assembly.
Re-assembled showing 105mm of tube with 115 psi in spring.
could you not have just taken the top cap off and removed the airspring out the top? that way you wouldnt have to remove the lowers. (ie. same way you lower a fox 36)
I didn't want to try that. When i called Marzocchi they said do it by removing the lowers. Seems like if you had to push the piston up you may scratch the piston wall, an you need a long skinny rod. It took me 30 minutes to do.
The piston also likely has to be bolted up from the bottom. So if you have to pull bolts off and lose oil you may as well pull the lowers
but is it not the exact same "style" air piston as a fox 36? and everyone lowers it that way (out the top)
- loosen bottom and drain oil - remove top cap and air piston - install spacers - air piston back in and fill oil from bottom - tighten footnut, install topcap, add air
just an idea and its way less effort (nobody scratches piston walls) and you wont need to mess with the snap clip
for most marzo's specially the open bath models the piston gets fastened via the foot nut, and the way the lower seal works it will just fall off in the lower cause of the c-clip. making it so you have to pull the lowers off to get that part so you can put it all back together any way.

yeah my old 2008 DJ2 was like that. but this new one is totally different
Oh really. Hmm want to see all the insides myself. Going away from suspension forks for my own riding for the time being spending more time riding street and skate parks than I am at any jumps and the ones I do spend time at are usually mint as f*ck
