The monoshocks are installed!!!

Since the 5 oz of oil is only used for lubrication does it ever has to be changed? You can't add oil,as when using the OEM spring,due to the gas chamber.

Always something.
I have everything together and tried to slide my front axle in and it is very tight. Is this normal?
If I tap it in will it damage the chrome? I don't want it peeling in the future.
I would think they know how thick the chrome is and take that much off of the stock lower for proper fitment of the axle.
Suggestions,plz.

Thanks guys, project completed! The ***** shiny lowers look great. I also have the Progressive suspension in the front and the 422's in the rear. What a difference, not that I doubted you guys.
