    I know they come in all sizes, the lower mount is a standard shock hiem. The upper coilover mount would need to be modified on the truck that's about it!

    You are right they are very sleek, the simplicity is what attracted me in the first place.

    Can you add or subtract Nitro to adjust ride quality?

    Yes, and no. The charge is the spring so it's what holds up the truck. It directly affects ride height, go to low for a soft ride and you're on the ground. With my truck the suspension and steering geometry it build around a specific ride height, change that and everything changes.

    Yes it is possible to valve them but it's not like a normal shock, much more specialty, I would only have a pro do it. I truly just need an entire weekend and a bottle of nitro to burn and just try different combos

    ...too much shit to list.
    Couple things to keep in mind on ORIs. ORI's are, for all intensive purposes, air shocks. They have two separate nitrogen chambers, an upper and a lower. Nitro pressure is what sets the ride height. As Jimmy mentioned, if you loose a seal, the truck drops to its nuts. They are also much more sensitive to temperature changes. The hotter they get, the higher the nitrogen pressure gets which in turn will affect ride quality. They are definitely not for everybody, but have their place. Carrying a nitrogen tank is a must.
