LOL ...
Well both my Cadillac, and Buick, with Factory air shocks used normal air @ a normal valve-stem just inside the trunk near the latch. :wtf: - (also Pontiac)

It kinda seems like if yours aren't built up to that standard, maybe you should buy a quality brand

- BTW - ^ Yes, there are tire shops who have compressed Nitrogen, for tires. I don't think most, but you could probably find one. ^

Do some reading around about charging them with air an not gas. I never said it can't be done, it's just not good.


An I guess fox shocks aren't a quality brand?

broke it.. not even while having fun, but on the way there. overheated bad enough to cook the head gasket and eff one of the pistons. managed to get it back together enough to limp back home, but she's toast. so now I get to find a new motor and get that swapped in. super duper
