Gabriel shock problem

[Rudy913]

my Gabriel hi jacker rear air shocks won't go over 60 psi and the max is 200 what can be the problem ?

What kind of pressure does the compressor you're using generate? Tank size?

Also, just because they're rated for 200 does not mean you should inflate them that far. Air shocks are to compensate for additional load, using them to raise the car is very hard on the shock mounts

Okay I was wondering I thought the shocks was broken . The tank about the size of this one
But also I went to gas station air pump and still didn't go up extra high

Neither air compressor has enough guts to put more than 60 psi in the shocks. I doubt you would want much more or the ride is going to get pretty stiff.

Gas stations won't go over 60 psi. Too much liability from idiots exploding tires.

Why do you have air shocks, anyway? Springs are cheap and can be swapped out in a couple minutes.

I guess because i can adjust how I want the rear to sit up .

Why not ditch the air shocks for air bags, replace the shocks and springs. It also depends on how much of a load you carry.
