A suspension system comprising a damper assembly is disclosed. The system comprises a shaft and a piston and a shim on the shaft and a collar to apply a preload to the shim and a seal in sealing engagement such that the damping fluid cannot flow between the shim and outer surface of the shaft. The damper assembly may be provided for a suspension fork or shock absorber. The collar and shim are movable along the shaft. The seal may comprise an elastomeric element. Position of the collar along the shaft changes preload of the shim. The shim may be configured to obstruct an internal passage of the piston when the damping fluid pressure is below a threshold and to deflect to open the internal passage of the piston when the damping fluid pressure is above the threshold. A n adjuster may provide adjustment of position of the collar along the shaft.
