Re: suspension

I know that gas charged shocks and struts do offer a minor spring effect, but that's not their primary purpose. Even teh "high pressure" monotubes only have about 100-140 PSI of nitrogen, and can offer maybe 100 pouns of spring force.

You may be correct that some sag is due to a lost shock charge, but I presumed that it was more noticable than 3/4" or so that might result from a blown shock charge. Maybe I was mistaken.
