In order to control dampening, you could adjust load on the turbine, and adjust the check valve on the "out" side of the shock (where fluid leaves when the shock bounds) so that it doesn't open until a certain pressure is achieved. Changing the sizing of the tubes and valves will also change damping control.
What kind of price range are shocks that will have the fittings for doing something like this? Hydraulic shocks I mean.

I am wondering about the rubber in your air shocks, I don't know how you will find out what type of rubber is being used.
