  Scott,
  You bring up an interesting point in how your gear is adjusted. My system is
  adjusted as per the factory
  with the gear against the aluminum sleeve stops on the up side and the down
  side is stopped by the over center links.
  The over center links are not that beefy and there is an enormous amount of
  stress on them with the down pressure at maximum.
  
  I wonder if there has ever been a failure due to this stress.
  Your solution sounds reasonable to me.
  
  I am curious as to what other have done if anything regarding the down side
  adjustment.
  
  Whilst writing this post I called Ross at Lancair and he told me essentially
  the same thing in that the over center link was not designed to handle the
  total down side stress of the system but admitted that there are many
  airplanes flying that are set up that way.
  He recommended the same solution as Scott, and that is to have the hyd cyl
  bottom out about the same time as the over center
  link hits it's limit taking a significant amount of the stress off the over
  center link...
