Luckley for me it took a shit 2 days before
The dog or the charger? LOL
Sorry I didn't voxer you back, voxer has been pissing me off lately.
FYI I have the front shocks in the Revolt set at 200psi (FINALLY!) and they seem a bit high to me. I had them set at 175psi and the front sagged too low and would bottom out and drag on razor backs, scooping sand right up into my crotch! Sandy balls n crack aint good! But point being, a difference of 25psi on an air shock makes a world of difference, AND you need to factor in the weight of the car. Revolts are 700lbs dry, and the front ends are much heavier than a FL350. I would imagine the psi will be trial and error, maybe somewhere around 180psi could be a good start. Or just go big, set it to 200psi and take a gauge and air them down little by little until you like the way it rides.
How are you going to air them down a little?
These shocks has such a small volume if you take a regular tire guage and try to check the pressure by time you put it on the valve core and remove you lose 50 lbs when it went psssst .
Using my nitrogen setup for shocks the 0 loss thing (like in the attached pic) if I put it on the shock and turn the valve so it depresses the valve core and pressurizes that little Tee so you can read the gauge to see what pressure is inside the shock you just lowered the pressure in the shock by 10 psi, the volume in that tool lowers the pressure 10 psi to check the shock pressure, test this yourself with your setup if your setup is home made or different than shown in the pic your pressure loss might be different because the volume might be different in your setup.
You can download a spread sheet here for the FOX air shocks and adjust the pressure and see exactly how much the spring rate will change per PSI for your shock.
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7080You also want the shocks fully extended before testing the pressure.
If you drop the pressure and the shock bottoms then you need to ADD more oil to the shock to increase the compression ratio so the shock will NOT bottom out not necessarily just add more pressure, I made adjustable oil volume controls for my shocks so I could change the compression ratio without adding or removing oil
http://pilotodyssey.com/FOXAirShox.htm just need to adjust the nitrogen pressure. .
