Abstract

A vehicle damper assembly is disclosed. The damper includes a cylinder having an inner diameter (ID). A rod and a piston, the piston coupled to the rod and configured to divide the cylinder into a compression side and a rebound side. An electronic valve assembly including an electronic valve body coupled with the rod on the compression side of the piston. The electronic valve body having an electronic valve body outer diameter (OD). A boost valve having a boost valve body, a boost valve area located between the electronic valve body and the boost valve body, the boost valve having a boost valve OD. The boost valve OD is larger than the electronic valve body OD, such that the boost valve is configured to allow the electronic valve assembly to operate within said cylinder ID that is too large for the electronic valve body OD.
