check your rear drive spring. is it an aftermarket one, or stock? it may be too strong...other than that, it might be a problem with your valve.

I would suggest a Madman Spring Kit, it will help get the velocity in the right place.

It is not likely that a leak in the hose would cause an increase in velocity. If you are going to buy a spring kit then you might first try cutting the stock spring one loop at a time. Reducing the length of the spring will reduce the velocity. Be conservative, check the velocity after each cutting.
