a first fluid chamber;
a second fluid chamber in fluid communication with said first fluid chamber via a flow path;
a valve provided in said flow path to control a flow of a working fluid between said first fluid chamber and said second fluid chamber, wherein said valve has a first position and a second position, said valve fluidly isolating said second fluid chamber from receiving additional fluid from said first fluid chamber when said valve is in said second position, said valve allowing said first fluid chamber to receive fluid from said second fluid chamber even when said valve is in said second position;
an actuator to control said valve, said actuator configured to adjust a location of said valve axially within said shock assembly such that a volume of said first fluid chamber is altered and such that a volume of said second fluid chamber is adjusted; and
a rod disposed to couple said valve with said actuator.
