Default Hot Racing 100mm Air shocks

Hey guys, I just bought and installed some of the 100mm HR air shocks. They look great but I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue I am having and if so, is there a way to fix it.

The shocks are not consistent with one another. Some operate smoother than others and some droop or spring back out faster than others. I have one that almost will not re-extend at all without help. I have tried all the different springs and have the same problem. Maybe it is the way I mounted them I don't know.

The backs are straight up and down and the fronts tilt towards the rear just a little bit(from the top mounting point). Any help would be nice. I am about ready to take them off and go bach with something else.

I ran a set of these same shocks on a custom tube jeep I built, with some similar issues.I ended up putting a few drops of 3 in 1 oil in them and also ran the lower shock body cap a lil loose

Hope this helps
