Matt, If it's not clear I think John means to fill the gap that you can see a couple of inches down the tube. I use Liquid Wrench Marine Grease and apply it with a length if 1/2" wide aluminum flat stick. I try to evenly fill that gap without leaving too much on the inside of the rest of the tube. Then I gently insert the shock and rotate it as I gently push it down to use the shock to redistribute the grease in that space. Then I pull it out again and remove the excess that's accummulated on the end of the shock and reinsert. Make sure your breather hole at the end is not blocked.
