I don’t know how much it would cost but my lbs can actually press out and press in a 1/8 steertube

I havent had it done they just mentioned it last time I bought a frame

Might be worth looking into
The lbs here will also do that. We are pretty close to you.

quick question: what happens if you run way lower air pressure than recommended on dj forks and just use it for a bit of trail riding? I basically feel like the recommended pressures for your weight are so the fork is used as intended which in this case is dirtjumping and requires a lot more pressure so the fork doesn't bottom out when riding big boy stuff. Then again my knowledge on forks is cow dodo so maybe if you'd like just try to explain to me why this is/isn't possible or if it is possible but dangerous etc instead of a yes/no

The only thing that "happens" is that your fork is softer, and may bottom out more easily.

I found that the other day as well. Got my hopes up, but they are definitely not in business.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's been up this whole time. It must be on a server that hosts other websites.
