    I now recommend replacing your old shocks with air shocks made by Vigor Air Suspension. You can watch my full test and review here: • Vigor Air Suspension v... .

    @gregcavanaugh6259 2 года назад

    awesome video. Quick question on those rear shocks. Are there valves on the air inlets or if you pull off the hose will they loose air? I was believe my compressor is dead, but was thinking I could try to add some air to shocks temporarily before I replace everything.

    • @FarmDad
      @FarmDad  2 года назад

      You can pull off the hose and add air that way, but be super careful because I've seen people blow them by adding too much air too quickly.

    Love the video and my 05 Denali is riding fine so far but I’m hearing air come out from, I’m assuming the air connector…. And I’m also noticing my truck isn’t rising when the compressor kicks on like it used to.

      Spray some soapy water on that connector. Sounds like it's got a problem.

    Hey bro, I just replaced my shocks and the compressor, but it doesn’t come on, only until I put some weight in the back, it’s that normal? Thank you for any help

    • @FarmDad
      @FarmDad  2 года назад

      I suspect that if you are hearing it run once weight is put on the back that you are ok. But you should hear it run shortly after starting your SUV up too
