What size shock? If 2" Bilstein set the floating piston about 3/4" away from bottomed out on the hose end of the res. A 14" travel should use about a quart of oil. Fill it up until it looks like you have just enough room for the valve stack. Sometimes you have to move the res and shock around to get the air out. When you get no bubles in the oil you are good. When installing the valve stack it's better to displace some oil than end up with air in the shock. When the shock is back together push down until it bottoms out if it feels concistent all the way to the bottom then you are free of air. If it coasts the last little bit try again. Also ATF works in a pinch as shock oil. Thats what I use but I'm not a expert and don't claim to be good luck. thumb.gif
