Phelps Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 only compressed nitrogen! depending on what you have depends on recommended pressure. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Nitrogen only. Do not run regular air under any circumstance. You need to find out what brand shocks they are, though, as different brands require different pressures. Quote
njdevil26 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 is there a reason for the nitrogen? Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Yes, it's 100% dry, so it won't allow rust to develop, also it doesn't react to temperatures. If you pressurize your shock with air at 50*F, then the shock heats up to 200*F, the 200 psi you out into your shocks will all of a sudden be at 250 or more just from the temperature increase. Quote
