Did you ever end up finding an installer around Denver? I haven't found one yet.

Not yet, but haven’t looked hard. My truck doesn’t come In until end of Feb. I may do the job myself

Charging shocks

Had a little hiccup on my install when I went to charge the shocks.

Wanted to share in case any of you run into the same situation.

Got the SVC schrader adapters installed no problem. Was careful not to put too much pressure when tightening.

To charge I went to the tool I've used hundreds of times.

When tightening down on the adapter it snapped before getting tight. Generally you can feel the adapter starting to seat when it reaches the head of the schrader.

When I looked into why the adapter snapped the threading for the schrader side of the adapter is too short to allow the tool to seat on the threads.

Attached a pic of the charge tool and the comparison between the adapters and what would be more of a standard schrader.

So no way to use this tool properly on these adapters.

$30 later I have replacements from SVC. Bought 2 so I had a backup.

Now the subsequent issue is the protector cap doesn't fit due to what appears to be some change in the threads.

Think I am done with these adapters and will look to convert to a standard schrader when I get time.

Hey everyone,

I just had these installed and have terrible rattle/knock when going over small bumps. Like a dirt road surface. Almost like something is loose. I asked the mechanic and he said he couldn't do anything about the noise because the shocks were pushed outwards and touching something. Anyone else getting that rattle/knocking sound?

Thanks,

I'd say something sounds a bit off with your installers comments. Shocks should not be pushed in any direction with these collars.

If I was to take a guess I'd say they didn't charge the shocks properly.

When I was waiting to get the replacement adapter for the one that broke I ran my truck w/o any nitrogen in the shock and had the same sound you are talking about.

Anyone install this and then adjust for more lift after? Do you just lift the front end up and crank on it? Or do you have to remove the shock to do so? Seems like it would be too hard to adjust under load.

About to add +3 deavers to rear so want to bring the front end up more.

You have to remove to adjust height.

What are you guys paying to have this installed? I just got a quote for $900 which seems high.

Any recommended installers in North Carolina?
