70 psi fully extended. Not with weight on.

I'm guessing the pressure goes up when you compress the shock.

Give king a call, their customer service is amazing and they are willing to help out.

Why? I'm already saying what king told me.

Hi Greg, the shocks should have 70 psi in the reservoirs at extension. As for the pressure when weight is applied and the shocks compress this will depend on how much the shock is compressed and whether or not the shocks have been recently driven on. What we recommend it that you check the pressure with the vehicle lifted and the shocks extended.

Ok thanks, I think I wasn't clear, what do higher pressures do is what I meant...

Do we fill these with nitrogen or just air?

Nitrogen. Air has moisture in it.

I made a nitrogen fill kit using this article as inspiration. https://www.diymotofix.com/blog/how-to-make-a-shock-fill-tool-and-fill-station

It's also handy for mountain bikes, dirt bikes, and anything else requiring pressurized nitrogen.

Awesome thank you! What places usually have nitrogen ? Just to fill up the shock for now?

I would try a motorcycle shop, they usually service the nitrogen on dirt bike and sport bike shocks. You want to jack up that corner of the jeep and put 70psi in it at full extension.

This was just a google find, but maybe find a dealership that does nitrogen tire fills. See if they can do 70psi (I'm sure they can).

Costco's do Nitrogen fills on tires

but worth checking to see if they'd do shocks.

I was just thinking about that, since they are right down the street

Dammm. 70 psi. I’ve got my 2.0’s set to 165 and I think it rides perfect.

Are you filling/measuring with the weight of the Jeep on the shock? The 75psi number is of the shock fully extended with no weight on it, once compressed and weighed down the psi will increase to a number similar to what you are set at

Gobicon2017 · Sep 21, 2018

No that’s at full droop. I was told by ORE last year that’s what they take. Maybe I’ll call again.

I believe that the king bumps are supposed to be around 50 to 70 psi

I called King today and they said to fill the 2.5’s to 70psi for the unlimited jk. And you can do it with the shocks on the Jeep. No need to fill droop them or any other thing. 70 psi nitrogen and also Costco no longer fills nitrogen into shocks or other things. Strictly tires only. I did find that Big O tires does Gil nitrogen in shocks for $8 bucks a shock.
