No, you have to use the nitrogen fill needle. You can replace them with shredder valves though, there should be a write up of that somewhere in here!

I really thought someone will respond with better info than I have. But here goes.
You should be able to use schrader valves on the fronts. This is a question I've asked repeatedly. Only answers received were "yes I've done it to mine". But have not been able to get any clarification. The problem is most people think there is no room for the valve stem when the shock is in the truck. I have not seen an installation of schraders on the front shocks yet. It is on my list of things to try though.
