Default Internal springs?

I have a axial ax-10 which I turned into a tubber,the setup calls for the spring to be internal which I purcshased threw the company that made the cage. My question is should I run oil in them as well and if so which weight. I do have oil in them now but one of my shock towers exploaded last night so just going to re-build all shocks.
Thx

yes you want to have oil in your shocks, what weight depends on a lot, your weight, tire choice, and terrain. I would recommend starting with a midrange weight like 40 and go from there. or what ever you have handy, it should be pretty obvious if you need heavier or lighter oils.

Depending on your shocks, some have bladders some don't, you will want to leave an air gap at the top of the shock or you will blow off the cap every time, you should be able to cycle the shock smoothly from top to bottom without any dry spots or binding.
