nitrogen charging for shocks in MD - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

c_note · 01-26-2010, 03:35 PM

Ive been living in MD for a year now and havent found any offroad shops that do shock rebuilds. all i really need is for my shocks to be recharged and if the shop is credible, possibly a shock revalve. i found a shop in Penn but it was like a 2.5 hour drive one way. i want to get it all done in less than a day so if theres any shops in the local area, that would be great if you'd throw the names.

thanks!

I just bought a regulator and made my own charging setup and fill valve. Works well to fill tires if needed as well. Only thing remotely special you need is a shrader 556 fill valve.

how far are you from Chadds Ford, PA? i go to targetmaster shooting range every once and again.

by the way, thanks for the offer.

where could i pick up that shrader valve? just looked on polyperformance and no dice.

I got mine from a aviation place and peiced together the rest. My setup looks just like the poly fill kit but it was half the price.

I've shot at target master once IIRC. I dont shoot indoors usually. Local sportsmans club is only 60 a year and has 3 different ranges and fishing

Regardless I'm not close really, I live in the Allentown area. My nitro setup is in NJ for a little for a friend to us. I can always take it with to RC sometime....

Uh yeah schrader 556 valve

The rest is just fittings a hose and a nitrogen regulator. I had majority of the fittings laying around.

i just ordered a nitrogen shock fill kit and it should be in next week. i just can see myself paying someone to do a simple task for a lack of tools.

thanks for the suggestions guys!
