[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 710435, member: 125"] Nitrogen tank with regulator, hose & chuck. You should be able to source everything local to you. No loss gauge set up is a must. Use it when filling at all times. I've found regulators on tanks are off a bit. You can make one of these yourself also. [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I9Y37VW/?tag=hardlinecrawlers-20"]https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Shocks-802-02-002-Nitrogen-Filler/dp/B01I9Y37VW/ref=sr_1_14?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1525963106&sr=1-14&keywords=no+loss+pressure+gauge[/url] Spanner wrench & pre load nut wrenches are a must. They make things easier and don't scar up parts when opening up shocks. I used to have two wrenches that had two common shock sizes for spanners and pre load nuts made into one wrench but then my shop got broke into, so they gone. Now I gotta find something else..... Over time I've accumulated shims and seals as shocks have been serviced. To start I would order at least however many seal kits for your shocks you are servicing and maybe an extra to have around. Shims, I would pick a couple shim packs to start with. Look at what you have in your shocks now and order some different valving sizes from what you have already. Aluminum or soft jaws for your vice. Syringe, I use these especially with air bumps. Here is an example but likely also something you could source locally.
