    I should have let him know that the difficulty with having them filled on the truck is that you have to make sure you find a shop cool enough to jack up the truck and completely droop it out in order to properly fill them.

    Just fill with air to get you to a nitrogen fill.

    Do this. And also a good idea if you are having to pay for nitrogen but are going to be doing testing and a few Valving changes back to back. The nitrogen is going to be better for the long term, but the characteristics between it and air will be minimal making this a good option for testing and making changes

    Is there no concern about trapping moisture with using compressed air or just not enough to worry about?

    Yes, if you ever use shop air for your shocks it should be from a very dry source.

    Yeah but aren't most of the internals on shocks made of a nonrusting metal? While I agree water in the shocks is never good, hence why I'd never run it for an extended period of time, throwing it in for a day to get you to some nitrogen is fine. Case in point, I had to do that to get from Jeffs to DMZ. And man, what a difference as well, Jeff was only able to give me about 120 PSI to get up to OC for the evening, and I just though that was how the truck was gonna handle, and then Tim gave me 200 PSI in everything, and wowza!

    I'm doing the total chaos long travel rear shock relocation with maybe fox 2.0's. At this point I think I'm going with Dakar leaf springs. Are those leaf springs really going to stop my shocks from performing at what they could, or are those a good combination?

    The dakars are a good leaf pack if you constantly have weight in or over the bed. If not they will be pretty stiff

    Even with weight in the bed I wouldn't recommend dakars as a high performing leaf pack. They are a no hassle, weight carrying leaf pack that is built for expo use. Try to go fast with them or really flex them out and they do ok (better than stock) but I think there are better options.

    That is not a long travel leaf pack at all. You need to contact Total Chaos and ask them exactly which leaf packs are spec's to match their kit.

    I wondered if maybe he forgot his commas.

    This - I'm doing the total chaos long travel rear shock relocation with maybe fox 2.0's

    is much different than

    This - I'm doing the total chaos long travel, rear shock relocation, with maybe fox 2.0's
