First time ever had sled with Air shocks --- Fox Float 3's. For summer storage should take some air out of them? Any special storage for them, just try lift so no weight on shocks?

shock'n air

my 07 M8 has air all around, never touched them, sits in a trailer all summer, don't ride it anymore, but when I fired it for a sled rescue mission this winter, shocks all ok, I did add 25lbs to the back to carry a second rider into his machine.
I rebuild these shocks for locals and I have regassed and rebuilt lots of 10 year old fox air shock of all configs, rarely see an air sleeve seal issue.

No special storage procedure. Once a year you should slide the air sleeve down and re-lubricate the air sleeve.
