front shocks using valve shrader

[munther76]

hello can i use a valve shrader not that rubber that need the needle to fill the Nitrogen ? also is there enough place between the shocks and lower control arm to not hit the shrader when i install the shock ? sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance .

No, you have to use the nitrogen fill needle. You can replace them with shredder valves though, there should be a write up of that somewhere in here!

I try to find any info with no luck

I really thought someone will respond with better info than I have. But here goes.
You should be able to use schrader valves on the fronts. This is a question I've asked repeatedly. Only answers received were "yes I've done it to mine". But have not been able to get any clarification. The problem is most people think there is no room for the valve stem when the shock is in the truck. I have not seen an installation of schraders on the front shocks yet. It is on my list of things to try though.

there is enough gap between the shader valve and the lower control arm

Can't see it well, is there enough space to check or recharge without removing?
