Air ride trouble
Ok, i've read all the posts, I know air shocks are a bad way to go.. but my ride already had them when I bought it. Trouble is, I can't seem to get any air into them... it's not leaking, it's just that the valve won't let any air in. period. I've tried using low pressure, high pressure, messing with the ends... nothing. Is there a trick to this? Roads around here (upstate PA) are crap after these gas company trucks, so the sooner i get suspension that works the better. :P Thanks.

Re: Air ride trouble
you are talking about air shocks? air ride is something totally different.
take them off and trash them. pick up a set of new shocks.
try putting new valves on them if you want to try to use them, sounds like they are shot.

Re: Air ride trouble
Ok, thanks... verbage fail. :P I was gonna redo suspension after i have more cash, but since I realized I have *no* shocks in the back, it looks like I'm gonna have to at least do those.
