[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 212675, member: 483"] ABSOLUTELY. I'm glad you mentioned that because it shows you are willing to do what it takes to get them working. The easiest way to get that much oil into them is going to be to just remove the top with the shaft fully extended, pour the correct / max amount in, reinstall the top, and slowly bleed any air out by SLOWLY compressing the shaft back in with the shock standing up schrader valve at the top. It takes a long time for the oil to bleed down past the piston and not spray out as you do this but not as long as trying to force it all through the schrader hole with a syringe. What I used to do is go through above procedure but before I compress the shaft again I just sat it in the corner with the schrader up while I did the next shock. Normally by the time you're done with the other the first one is good to slowly compress again. I can't stress enough how important spending time tuning airshocks is. They can actually be really good and stable if you do. They'll never be coilovers, especially on a rig that heavy, but they can be the next best thing. J. J. [/QUOTE]
