Question about Zbroz triple rate remote resi shocks.

My dad bought a used T-m7 this summer with a set of the above mentioned shocks and I was noticing the front end on it sagged quite a bit, so went over, lifted up on the bumper and found the nose sags around 4" with nobody on it.. WAY to much. The resivours on it have little air stem lookin deals and wondering if they just need to be pumped up or sent of for a rebuild?? Gonna take the sled out tommorw to test it anyways and tune on the turbo, just figured that could use dealing with sooner then later and wondered if it was just a matter of leaking down and needing pressure(sorta like fox floats will).

would appreciate some insight.:face-icon-small-con I dont do shocks.
 
no I havent, and we planned on getting out early, I just noticed it last night, and with today being t-day.. well ya know.

I will give them a call in the AM, just looking for any info I can get right now. I actually think the front just has the threaded body on it so you can adjust it like a normal coil spring.. Ill ahve to check that out as we... who knows, they guy he bought it from had it setup sorta funny, so it could just be setup super mushy, who knows. Im just ignorant of shocks and figured I would ask.
 
The schrader valve is for nitrogen @ 200 ~ PSI.
FTX in Puyallup is a full Zbroz dealer and service center....
 
The ZBroz shocks are supposed to sag a lot more than other shocks. Think Baja trophy trucks. The idea is that there is suspension travel in both directions, not just one direction like most other shocks that are fully extended all the time.
 
yeah, we ended up riding the thing today.. it was actually really nice feeling, might need more pressure, but it just floats throught bumps a LOT better then I was expecting, no bottoming.
 
yeah, just freaked me out, sits way lower then im used to. I guess im just not used to fancy type shocks. worked well, now for the tuning, and thats a different story.
 
On shocks with springs, you must remember the spring holds up the sled. The shock just dampens the energy put into them. The reason they have pressure in them is to keep the oil from cavatating. The push that the pressure makes is just a side affect.
 
Sounds like you got it figured out. You can adjust ride height by adding or removing preload on the shock. (the collar on top of the spring) Just remember to make small adjustments and go ride it. When you adjust the preload you also change the springrate and crossover points so you don't want to make large changes.

I have a hard time keeping up with every thread, but you can shoot me a PM anytime and I'll help with any questions you may have. Thanks!
