air gauge

Made up a equalizer tube between the shocks and connected to a gauge and filler stem, then made up a simple bracket to mount them. Never leaks..easy to use..easy to read and slightly hidden. Always the exact amount of air needed too.

fittings for the shocks, tubing, two brass T fittings..gauge..filler stem..and bracket. You can pick up all these pieces at a automotive store. Total cost was about 30 bucks..I haven't had any air leaks at all for the past 6 months....Bdog
