Default Shipping stock air shocks
Anyone that has had to ship the standard air shocks, any thing special you have to do so the oil doesn't leak into the air valves or get into the air lines? Should I remove the air connection at the shock and cap it? Just wondering if it will hurt shipping them with the air lines all connected.

Thanks

Remove the air fittings and place a pipe plug into the hole. Otherwise, you are going to loose some oil and the person receiving the shocks won't be very happy.
