I am borrowing a Nitrogen tank from a buddy. Just checked the PSI in all 4 edelbrock mono tube reservoir shocks. No idea what to fill them to.

Current PSI ratings:
pass side rear: 180
driver side rear: 140
pass side front : 60
drier side front 30 to 0 really fast.

should they be at 300 PSI or more like 220, or 180 ?


any input is appreciated. These are no longer made and I could not find anything online about what psi to set them to. the stiffer the better.

I would start at 180. Sounds like youve got some seal issues...

From what I've heard and seen over the years is that the edlebrocks are great for the price but won't last with offroad abuse over a time.

Ya they have had a good run. Might not be a bad time to consider to start saving for some 7100s...

Buts itll cost more than buying new shocks

I had the same issue with my 7100s losing their charge after wheeling them for 2 summers. I have heard of others having problems with their 7100s as well.

My buddy in go fast says he hits his shocks with NO2 after every outting. These are like 5+ years or something . I Ended up setting the regulator to 240psi . Jeep drives like night and day --- driving better and actually gained like 1/2" lift all around and much stiffer and less body roll. I will probably pick up a welding tank and regulator at the local welding supply and top them off a few times a year. If I can just eek out a year or two more out of these shocks that will be great since there are so many other projects.
