Adjusting Air Shocks
Well, then I guess I don't have the schraeder valve. Its probably easier for me to just replace them.
The interesting thing is I moved a rear axle from one car to another while relocating the spring mounts. Neither car sat really high before, but it does now.

I made sure not to tighten the shackle bolts until the suspension was loaded with the weight of the vehicle. I assumed it was the air shocks that was holding up the weight of the vehicle, but not adjustment of air pressure has been made so I'm a little mystified as to why its sitting so much higher than before. The springs may have been different, but they remained with the axle they were on originally.
