It's a stock shock. it uses nitrogen right? how much PSI do you have to put in it. mine sags it drops about 1 or 2 inches wen i let go of it.

I know it's not much - and ya' need to take it somewhere to have it done 'cause there's so little volume in the rezzy that if ya' check the pressure w/ a gauge it'll drop it a few lbs. just from checking it - they use a filler w/ a shut off valve to pressurize it so it doesn't lose pressure when ya' take the filler off the valve - if ya' haven't tried checking the pressure - don't - cause then you'll be low for sure from checking it - if ya' can't take it somewhere that can check it right - and yer' goin' ridin' - I'd adjust the comp. / rebound on it - - - mine sags too - I think they all do

Good advice.Normally its about 150psi.Depends on who builds the shock.
