Why won't it go down???

Dennis,
I don't know what you suspension expertise is, but I have been building cars for over 30 years and I have seem more than one car set higher when a set of high pressure gas shocks have been install. You can see this more when they are installed in a car that had hyd. shocks. Also in older Bilstien catalogs they stated that their shocks could raise the car about 1/2".
I am saying that a gas can have the same effect as an air shock, because of the high pressure gas chamber the fluid/gas inside the shock tube is pushing the piston up the tube thus raising the car. The effect is that shock does not have to lift 1000 lbs the spring is supporting that weight, the only has to lift 100-200 lbs. This would be like you lifting a corner of your car by the wheel openning.
Oh by the way some gas shocks use a gas bag built inside the shock body, you know a separte chamber ( like an air shock )
