Default Stock air shocks
I removed my stock shocks from my sg and want to ship them to someone. I need to seal the top where the air hoses attach so no oil leaks during shipping. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can i remove the brass piece that is threaded into the shock safely and screw in a bolt temporarily ?

Yes you can but instead of a bolts,use 1/8 NPT pipe plugs.
I think they are 1/8,I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong!

Brass pipe plugs with a little teflon tape works just fine.
