Hey guys,

I thought I read somewhere, that them max suggested pressure in a shockwave is 100 psi. Is this true? I' m running them up front on my heavy as hell 65 Riviera... If I run at 100 psi, my crossmember hits the ground on any little bump. Granted I' m still tuning, but I need to be up near 125 in order to get what I think is a decent ride.

I really really reall don' t want to blow one of these out...

Thoughts?

Thanks!

You are fine at 125. The bursting pressure on these units is several hundred psi. The only problem with running 125 + is trying to get that much pressure in the air spring with only 150psi in the tank.

Good to know, thanks.

I wish I would' ve went with the bigger system on this car... I can get it filled on one tank, but would' ve liked it to be faster and have a little more juice. Live and learn... I bought a second system for another project, and I think I' ll like that when it' s done.

Any suggestions on how I can improve the system I have in place already? ride-pro e with small lines. (without replacing the valves etc.)

Another tank and pump would help a lot.
