GEN 1 Quick question factory fox shocks

[Nesc204]

Not real sure, I haven't seen anything about it either, I'm no engineer but in my head as the shock goes through it's travel (compressing), the IFP is compressing the nitrogen so it would read a higher pressure at part/full travel...

That's why I'm asking. I'm assuming it's a separate reservoir, if so then it wouldn't matter, unlike the struts I service on Aircraft, for example I'll service a NLG strut at 245 psi at full extension on a Large Cabin Gulfstream but with weight on wheels its in the THOUSANDS. But just want to be 100 percent sure

Makes sense! Given that, it should be the same for these, whether it's the fronts with the Internal Floating Piston or the rear with the external reservoir, the nitrogen charge is separated from the shock fluid by the floating piston and gets compressed as shock fluid flows into the oil side of the chamber as the shock compresses; might not be quadruple digits but I do think it will be higher (possibly exponentially) as more weight is on it. Gas can compress, fluid can't...
