[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 2025806, member: 20013"] A test is worth 1000 expert opinions. If the shock is built correct, there should be only fluid on one side of the IFP and only nitro on the other side. If the shock compresses at all the IFP should move and decrease the volume of the chamber, increasing the pressure. With the shocks installed on the truck and the truck sitting on the ground, all the shocks should be compressed slightly. But if Gumby charged shocks and checked them after intstall i would stand corrected. The only thing i would question, is that he checked it a year later so there is a chance some of the nitro leaked out over that time, but having exactly the same psi is quite the coincidence. I don't know all that well but one thing i found was after i charged a shock to 200psi, i left it on a cart in the sun, went to the auto parts store and checked it again and since it heated up the pressure was much more. I don't remember the actual number but it was higher than the original 200psi i started with. [/QUOTE]
