Carli Stabilizer

[JDerbedrossian]

All I can say is I followed Carli's recommendation and the problem was solved. It may be goofy but my truck tracks straight and I'm happy with it.



The stab required a little fine tuning but overall I'm happy w/ Carli's products (steering stab, track bar, starter suspension) and their customer service. It works for me and I'll be a return customer! 2. 5" Kings... hmmm... don't really need 'em but I sure want 'em!!

The bigger the shocks (3. 0's) the smoother the street ride

I have to laugh. Anyone that buys nitrogen charged shocks of any type should have a resource for measuring pressure and setting or restoring said pressure. Letting out the pressure with little spurts until the truck no longer pulls left is goofy. You should have bought a standard stabilizer if this is your approach. I have found that 125 psi with Thuren stabilizer negates most road crowns and is not much of a pulling issue on level or left crown situations. I have stock tires. I live a hundred miles from nowhere so I bought a nitrogen tank form a welding supply outfit, had a high pressure hose made up at a hose supply place with a pressure gauge in line with it, and got a special fitting from a race outfit that allows you to release the pressure from the supply hose and disconnect from the shock without changing the pressure in the shock from where it was set. I understand that buying your own nitrogen charging stuff is expensive and cost prohibitive. Just remember, it can also cost you money to get it done (especially correctly). I also believe that like a tire (although slower), a shock can lose pressure over time.



Motorcycle dealers sometimes have the nitrogen charging equipment in there service departments.

Some of us are lucky enough to live close enough to some killer shops. We can get by very nicely and spend that nitrogen money on the latest suspension upgrades instead Oo.

P. S. My Carli high mount stabilizer works killer

Nitrogen Equipment

Sorry to bring back and old thread like this, but ... ... .



Greetings Briman;



I came across this thread and a post you made a couple of years ago with respect to equipment for filling nitrogen shocks. I was wondering if you could help me out? Or, if anyone else has some information, please chime in!



Mentioned in the post, is an item from a race shop that lets you remove the hose without affecting the pressure that was just set. I have been trying to find something like that and all the sales guys look at me like I'm from Mars! It would be great if you could point me in the right direction.



Any info or pics you can provide about the pieces you have used would be greatly appreciated. I too, do not like being at the mercy of whats available locally to maintain my truck. Thanks in advance, to all, for your time.

Check out the nitrogen fill kits on POLY PERFORMANCE - YOUR OFF-ROAD SOURCE - JEEP/TRUCK & BUGGY 4X4 | ATV/UTV | MOTO | SNOW | RALLY | RC - www.polyperformance.com to get an idea.

I have checked into this as well due to my shocks that need checking once in a while but havent done it yet. However from what I can gather you will need



a tank of nitrogen. It can be small since shocks use small amounts such as this Poly Performance JEEP/TRUCK & BUGGY :: CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Poly Performance CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Nitrogen Tanks - 4X4 Off-Road Parts, JK Synergy Suspension Systems, Fox Racing Shox, Beard, CNC Brakes, Johnny Joints®, Currie Enterprises, Edelbroc or you can get one from a local welding supply house



A nitrogen rated regulator again local welding supply will have them (depending on the use will dictate the amount of regulation required as a tank may be pressurized to 3000psi so a regulator will reduce it to the amount desired just get one that will accomodate the amount desired such as 200 psi will cover anything below 200psi where as a 60psi reg isnt going to fill a 200psi shock beyond 60psi. Such as Poly Performance JEEP/TRUCK & BUGGY :: CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Poly Performance CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Synergy Suspension Nitrogen Regulator - 4X4 Off-Road Parts, JK Synergy Suspension Systems, Fox Racing Shox, Beard, CNC Brakes, Johnny Joints®, Curri



Some sort of guage/fill mechanism again make sure it will allow/read the pressure you need a 160psi gauge isnt going to work for a 200psi shock but would work fine for 125psi stabilizer. Such as this one

Poly Performance JEEP/TRUCK & BUGGY :: CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Poly Performance CO2 & Nitrogen Kits :: Synergy Suspension Nitrogen Fill Adapter - 4X4 Off-Road Parts, JK Synergy Suspension Systems, Fox Racing Shox, Beard, CNC Brakes, Johnny Joints®, Cu

or another source

Racing Shock Inflation Gauges : Racing Shock Pressure Gauges



You will also need a hose to connect from the reg to the tool, obviously of the proper pressure rating and correct fittings on the ends but just about any hose shop should be able to accomodate that.



It adds up in cost though probably looking at in the 300-350 range for the setup using the examples above tank 87, reg 100, gauge/fill tool 65, hose est 25 + nitrogen to put in the tank and shipping. You may be able to source parts locally as well.

Until I got Toyo Mt's,I wasn't able to use any of the pressurized single stabilizers with much pressure. Too much left drift. The Mt's with their right pull enabled me use my Fox 2. 0 lower@ 185 psi.

I have a CO2 bottle to fill tires. I've found the best place to get it refilled is a fire extinguisher supplier. All I get at welding gas suppliers is the run around.

Wow, thanks guys. I do appreciate the time you've taken to help me out.



Looks like Poly Performance is the way to go. They even have a kit that's already in a case for portability. But, as was pointed out, sourcing locally may save some shipping costs.



Thanks again.
