    How low are they? I've been running just compressed air in my reservoirs (fox and swayaway) and haven't had a single problem because of it, but its only because I've been taking them apart to screw with valving so often, its not economically viable for me to drive to and pay for them to get filled with nitro every time I tear apart my front end or revalve.
    Although it can hypothetically introduce moisture to the shock and the air molecule is smaller, making it hypothetically more prone to leaking than nitro, I havn't had a single problem or leak, nor have I noticed any corrosion or anything else in the shock or reservoir body. Once I have everything where I want it, I'll fill them with nitro, but this little tire compressor takes them up to 180+psi no problem, and that's about right where i want them.
    Just some food for thought if you need to fill them ASAP or are tight on dough, especially if your not pushing them to their limit (ie mostly street). where heat expansion wouldnt be as big of an issue , but from what i've read, oil expansion is a bigger concern.
    Now queue the hate :eek: :bananadead: :jerkoff:

    Well it looks like I gotta start considering color options for the truck. Switch to a different blue or a whole new color
