[QUOTE="TheButcher, post: 1336846, member: 17003"] He said it shouldn't be too much of an issue, but definitely don't go under 85psi or so. Now, keep in mind this was on an F450 driving down the road and occasional ranch roads, not a Raptor getting flogged on. I'd suggest checking where they are now (probably 200+), and then go down in small increments to see if you notice a difference. I'd say maybe stop at 120-130psi, but that is a number I literally pulled out of my a$$. It's just a guess so your mileage may vary. Be VERY careful when letting air out as it escapes very quickly. In fact, I did it with an air chuck that had a gauge that went to 220 and all I had to do was press it on to read the pressure, pull it back off, and then press it back on to check the pressure again. I think it went in 20-30 psi increments each time I did that. You don't even have to press the release valve on the air chuck. If you did press the release valve it would probably dump most if not all of the nitrogen in the shock and you would have to get it filled back up again. It's not the end of the world, but a PITA if you have to get them filled back up because you shouldn't drive on them if they don't have any pressure. The trick will be finding an air chuck with gauge that goes to 200psi. I ordered one from Grainger, but actually used a Snap On gauge that a guy at 4WP happened to have. [/QUOTE]
