i got a tank and regulator up in lynwood if you need to meet up.

on my 2.0 shocks i run 165lbs on the back of my truggy. it all depends on how much oil you have and how much shaft you want exposed.

Any dirtbike shop should be able to fill them, but it sounds like you got it handled

I got a tank and reg and all the goodies too, with a digital check gauge. Im in Arlington. Pressure depends on what your rig weighs. Those shocks are good for 50-500psi. Multiply the psi by 1.105 (example 200 psi x 1.105 = 221 lbs/in spring force)

Initial Pressure:
With suspension fully extended and no weight on the shocks, charge shocks to 200 psi.
Set vehicle on flat ground and check ride height.
Add or subtract pressure to get the correct ride height.
(Usually 35-50% shock compression)

Oil Level:
If vehicle bottoms out to easily, but rides well, add 15cc's of oil through shrader valve.
(Release pressure and remove valve core first)
Repeat until vehicle stops bottoming.

You could read your face off about it here but this info should get you close for what your gonna do. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-Airshox/index.html
