[QUOTE="R@pt0r, post: 1348098, member: 7235"] I rebuilt both the front and rear shocks. Everything went together fine and I ops tested the shocks after rebuilding by pressurizing them with 100psi from my compressor to ensure they moved freely and didn't leak. I could compress the shocks and they'd slowly rebound. Then I had the local ATV shop fill them with 240psi of nitrogen. I put Eibach springs on the fronts and installed one. I noticed that the shock/spring does not compress at all! I can lift the trunk from under the control arm and the shock does not compress at all! Not an inch! The rears are not any better. One of them I can compress by leaning on it and it will slowly extend. The other I cannot get it to budge even with all my body weight on it! What am I missing? Are the shocks stuck at the top of their travel? Do I need to release the pressure and not allow them to fully extend after filling? [/QUOTE]
