    That's one way to look at it.

    But srsly, I'm pretty sure its Schrader valve for recharging the shock with nitrogen

    LOL

    depending on how long you pressed it for and how much oil came out, you may need to get it rebuilt and serviced. you may have just let out all the nitrogen and killed the shock... told you it was a self destruct button

    also, didn't anyone ever teach you that if you don't know what something is, don't mess with it lol

    If you have access to a nitrogen tank you can tip them off to 150psi.
    Running the shock without nitrogen is no recommended and will shorten the life of you shock, but more importantly the ride quality will suffer due to the loss of nitrogen.

    Another questions, while I'm getting my shocks rebuilt, I've been contemplating why in the stage 2 kit that the instructions say to remove the overload spring.. I want to put it back on.. Am I going to encourage an issue by putting it back on?

    Sorry guys, I've been out of town @ Tundra's to Sedona.
    IMG_3864.jpg

    I'm back in the office.

    @Jclow801
    To answer your question. Yes you can put the over load back in. The ride quality will change slightly on the high speed/full bump situations. The rivets on the ICON Add-A-Leaf kit will come in contact with the overload leaf. Otherwise the over load will serve the same function as a lift block. The rear will rise by the thickness of the over load leaf.
