Hopefully someone took the person who told you this whopper aside and explained how the system works.
I saw it on the web. A progressive guy showing how to install their shocks and explaining why the air shocks suck and we need to buy theirs.
Crazy... I know
Still if you kept both sides with the same pressure does it hurt to go with the independent fill valve vs the split tee?
I wouldn't change them for the heck of it but my buddy did when he bought used shocks on eBay and they were missing the push connect ones. Only a couple bucks at Napa.
