[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1887447, member: 20013"] Its rainy season here so i want to make sure i can complete the job before i pull my shocks I bought the seal kit from Forged and it came with schrader valves thread right in. Just FYI if you buy from Forged, they don't include the O-ring for the bottom end cap. They're pretty expensive for what they are but i wouldn't want to deal with the needle filling thing. I found some stainless valves on amazon for a fraction of the price but you have to drill and tap the shock for a 1/8 pipe thread. Not hard but just more work. I bought this [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MKG9YH3/?tag=fordraptorforum-20']regulator[/URL] and got a nitrogen bottle from central welding. I also got a [URL='https://www.schmidtyracing.com/No-Loss-Chuck-with-Gauge-and-Bleed-Off-p/n-ft-nlc-shr-bo.htm']zero loss air chuck[/URL] which was super nice and also kind of necessary. I turned the regulator to 200psi but it would only put about 150psi in the shock according to the gauge on the chuck. I had to bump the regulator up to 300psi to get 200psi in the shock. [/QUOTE]
