Hi, thanks for the video! I didn’t see where you called out the part number for the T fittings. Do you have that information? Thanks!

Its amazing how much the prices fluctuate on the components. I just noticed that the Weatherhead C5255x4x4 part you refer to is like $24. The 2242-2-4S goes from the JIC 37 to a 1/8 NPT female ($6.78 on Amazon right now). Then the 1/8 NPT female to schrader valve adapter is like $2.
What is the part number for the Schrader valve?
I don't get it how did you get the threaded fitting out of the air shock I have the same shock and it looks like it's tapered or made into the shock how did you get that fitting out of the shock and installed your one quarter NPT into the shock
I did not remove the fitting on the shock.
How about using nicopp lines. like on brake line applications?
What is the part number for the T that you used? Also how well has all of this held up since your install?

Kenneth Daniels I’m currently struggling with the Monroe-provided lines. One I got on the second try, the other is at 7 attempts and counting. Thanks for the details on converting to 1/4” lines. Amazon, however, says the 1/4 braided lines are currently unavailable.
@@nitcat1 1/4" nylon airline with push connectors work great as well. I was skeptical of the push connectors at first but they work very well and with the 1/4 nylon hose and you can cut to the exact length you need. It seems very reliable as well. I used it when I added an air pump to the truck. So now I can just fill or release air on the fly.
Then down the road you can change over to the stainless steel hose when it becomes available if you want. Anything is better than the 1/8" line that comes in the kit with the shocks.
Good luck!
Kenneth Daniels funny, after I posted my comment I decided to do just that! I’ll try to post a follow up once I get the new parts installed.
Do you have the part number for the Schrader valve?
Its just a normal Schrader valve. They sell them ebay, AIRVALVE-SCHA-01 Inflation Air Valve-Schrader Style 1/4" NPT

@@kennethdaniels5834 thank you for that. you are making this project very easy.
I have tried different ways to seal the fitting that connects to the shock, It will not seal. I spent over $200.00 to convert using your instructions. I feel I got screwed. That's what i get for trusting youtube people. Thanks for nothing!
So its my fault YOU are not mechanically inclined to do this? Did I force you to watch? Did I force you to spend $200.00 bucks? I screwed YOU? No!!
It seems as if you did not use the proper tape? Yellow tape? Did you over tighten? Either way, It is not my fault YOUR shocks leak air. Maybe its the shocks. Maybe its YOU?
Mine hold air JJUUSSTTT FINE. No leaks, No issue with the connections.
