Oil for air shocks

[Francesco_from_Italy]

Hallo everybody, I've got a question for you: since my air shocked FJ has some rolling problems, I want to verify the correct setting of oil level.
I took all oil out from one of the shocks and there was about 300cc; does anybody know if this is enought? Here (http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billav...hox/index.html) is said that for a 2.0" body 14" travel air shocks is required 370cc, mine are 2.0" body and 16" travel so I guess that to maximize stability I should put more or less 400c.

Does anybody know the correct amount of oil for 2.0"/16" and 2.5"/16" (I run these in the front)??

Another thing: in the same place is said that the correct oil gradient is 5w; if I put an higher gradient oil (like 7,5w) could it be better?

Thoks a lot for your help!

maybe try tech support @poly performance?

btw how did the anti-rock bar work out for you?

I didn't buy the shocks there, do you think that they will answer me as same?

About anti-rock: by now I put only the rear one; I still have to try it in offroad drive, but I have to say that driving on road car's behaviour, specially in wheel, got much better, rolling descreased and the car seems to be more steady.

i think they will, they are pretty cool like that.....you have bought other stuff there thought right?

I bought the shocks there: Down South Motorsports - Home
They're very kind and easy-going, I asked them about oil capacity but they still haven't answered.
I could send an email to Polyperformance too, but I've never bought nothing from them (I have their N2 kit but I bought it from another vendor).

Hey, wait a minute! Now that you make me thing about that, I bought a lot of things from them just a few months ago (two anti-rock bars, one winch and a couple of shocks), I surely can ask them a simple question...;p
