Yes. If somehow air is not vented from the cylinder as the piston is moving and it is carried along with the fluid on its journey back into the reservoir, it is like 10lbs of ... candy in a 5 lb bag.

Did you get the kit from BYB or as they are known now, Advantage Lifts? Did it solve your problem? I doubt it. This is a common problem with BYB cylinders. They actually sell a kit to route the fluid out of the vent and back into the reservoir. That would indicate they don't have a good fix...

Yes sounds overfilled. Check reservoir with ramps/lift on the ground. Cylinder is filled with fluid when lift is at its highest position and ram is fully retracted into the bore of the cylinder.
