I looking for a nitrogen setup adjust shocks. The smith regulator seems popular. Any dos nd don'ts ..

goto your local welding supply, the have hvac regulators, they probbaly only go to 450 psi on the regulated side but work excellent, 405 dentech is getting a smith regulator on the bottle he bought from me...

I went to my local oxarc a couple weeks ago. I've been good to them so they've been good to me. it was about 220 for the tank, regulator and to fill it. I spent another 20 on the chuck and hose, and I was off.

this is the one I prefer http://www.marvinshawshocks.com/nitro.htm
I had the smith gauges and they were alright but this set up is far more accurate IMO.

Any of you guys running nitrogen in your tires? Supposedly it is better.

I always use nitrogen in the drag slicks. Much more consistent than air.

Here is the one that I use. It comes with the gauge, high pressure hose, and air fitting for the shocks. This guy is great to work with and has fast shipping. Here is the link for Ebay.

I keep my tank with me just in case. It serves the purpose of an air pump if you ever need to air down for the sand.

I had a setup similar to this one on e-bay but a smith guage. wasn't too bad for what it was but the guages I posted a link to above are the same money complete. the smith guage read all the way up to 600 psi but would only go 450 psi, also everytime I released the chuck I was losing about 15 -20 psi. it never seemed like I was losing much but after I checked it with my new guage set I confirmed it. the company I got the new guages from claim no loss but I think there is about a 1 -2 psi loss, no big deal though.
-
Psi is not that big of concern tho, set the ride height and call it good, if your loosing 15-20 psi when releasing, set the regulator 15-20 psi higher to make up the difference..

I found a regulator at climate doctors on line for $72 shipped it is a uniweld and goes to 500psi.
I have not used it yet, got a hose local for $22
