Any updates on clearance issues after doing some runs? Based on photo I assume none.

I'm sorry I just saw this. I don't understand what this fill valve does for our front shock installation. Looks like just a standard no loss fill rig. What am I missing?

Instead of using the ****** needle to charge your shocks you can just hook the Schrader directly to this port. Makes charging and checking easier.
Even using the needle, you still need a fill rig of some sort to connect to the needle. So I'm still not seeing what he trying to say. My guestion was is there enough room to check/fill without removing the shock; after installing the schrader.

Before he installed that Schrader valve, charging the shock would require a needle to fill the shock with nitrogen. He took out the need fill port and installed a Schrader. So now you just hook your air chuck directly to the Schrader valve instead of Schrader to needle to valve....
Look at this pic.
I get that!!!

I'm confused. The guy answered your question and you asked it again. Yes, there is enough room to charge without shock removal.
Simple question:
After installing schraders on the FRONT shocks, is there enough room to check/fill N2 of the FRONT shocks without removing the FRONT shocks?

Did not see that.

Now I'm getting confused. He answered yes but added the caveat they you needed "this" rig. Then my question became, why? Since that appeared to be just a standard fill rig. Does that rig enable or is it special for filling the front shocks.?

Rich, based on pick there looks like enough room to top off charge the shocks. Just need a tire type chuck like we use at the shop to get in there.
The shredders on are only worth doing if you plan on never upgrading to 3.0s and will keep the truck for a long time. The rubber grommet is $1 so in terms of effort really it is a wash.
I still like to know on a full cycle hit if the valve is clear. Looks like it but when I asked svc and rpg they said no
