Blue's do not have the valving capable of running the higher spring rate a 2.5" drop creates. Therefore the seals slowly begin to leak because of pressures it cannot contain, and eventually it fails. There's no concrete of way of saying it will fail at a certain point, but most likely sooner than later.
Look into something like Koni Yellows, Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX's.

Does anyone have the Tokico illuminas on Skunk 2 adjustables or Ground control adjustables? How do those set-ups ride? How low can they go and how is the ride?
