Abstract
A suspension damper and a method of manufacturing a suspension damper so that a common cylinder end assembly is used with dampers having cylinder tubes of varying diameters to accommodate piston assemblies having various desirable performance characteristics resulting from the specific diameter thereof. This provides a way of varying the cylinder tube to suit the specifically selected piston assembly while reducing component part proliferation of the complicated cylinder end assembly part of the damper.
