Its the rear track shock, air only no coil. Its sagging to the point if I lift up the rear to full height it won't hold it up. I just assumed the shock needed to be serviced. Sled has 1600ish miles and to my knowledge never been serviced. I've got a couple months until my next trip so wanted to get it done now.I'll usually confirm with him via email or phone call. He goes silent sometimes but it's just because he's swamped.
And yes that's for a reason, he's awesome. I'll only send my stuff to him.
To the OP: you talking air shock that's sagging too much? Because if it's a coil, the spring hold up the shock. Yeah there's a gas charge but just sagging too much might be something else.

There is no negative air chamber on these shocks to reset. If the air sleeve is dirty and gummed up inside it can hold pressure between the main air seal and the wiper seal and counteract itself. The wiper seal should be able "breathe" when it cycles. If that is what is happening it needs some service.
FYI if you are compressing the rear in the shop with wheels under the track or the front skis it won't return properly.
