Try increasing pressure in tires and the fork, and maybe try skinnier tires. Those will help it jump better. You could also consider a cockpit setup more similar to a dirt jumper vs. Trail bike. Other then that, I think you're pretty dialed, awesome build!

Oil doesn't come out of the lowers just because you don't have a rebound knob installed. There should be a crush-washer and footnut-bolt that forms a seal between the external and internal parts of the fork. The rebound knob is just a shaft that goes up into the hollow footnut-bolt, but it doesn't seal anything, that part is already sealed off.

This bike might not be as good on the “smaller” jump lines or even at the pump track due to the long travel and slack HT. That’s really where a DJ shines but as you said it does get pretty limited for cost. I just picked up a older cheap DJ of FB market place awhile ago. I am not really good at jumping but it is definitely easy to ride “smaller” jumps compared to my enduro FS or enduro HT. Don’t ride it much and still haven’t taken to the pump track either. Which definitely proves your point.

It's definitely the bike for people like us who feel like a full sus is wasted money on the kind of trails we ride. I have one with a 150mm fork for a taller stack and a softer landing on drops, and it rips through XC trails and gives me a great challenge on steeper stuff. I built it with more compliant 28h rims and PNW everything so it doesn't chatter too much and it works wonders. The geometry on it is built for longer forks, and 140mm with a longer axle-to-crown or a 150mm fork is the Goldilocks setup for it. The ride position is super neutral and rewards you for relaxing instead of being super bent down aggressively. Love it. Hope you enjoy yours even more!
