How can you have a single adjustable shock, and still have '26 way'? 26 clicks in the compression direction maybe?

FYI. If you run the bearing setup, you will not be able to the bolt them directly to the rear lower mount (unless RideTech has revised it) as the diameter on the mount is too big. You have to drill it out and use a threw bolt or other modified attachment.
What is the stock mount size? With the shocks come with aluminum bushins for 5/8 or 1/2 bolts.

Do those have a schrader valve? Can I maintain nitrogen on my own? Being adjustable from the shaft end makes for a change in shaft displacement or basically the free bleed?

26 clicks.....correct. Although it does effect the compression and rebound settings.

The pic attached is of the Firm Feel aftermarket plate that shows the rear shock attachment (although in stock form the mount is pressed/ welded). You can see it is designed to except a bushing type lower shock mount. We felt it was better to change the mount to except the bearing.

As with any MonoTube shock there is a Nitrogen chamber at the bottom of the shock or in the resevor on our TAs, separated from the oil w/ a floating piston. There is a very specific pressure that these need to be set at and for all general purposes does not need to be changed. Instead of the normal Schrader, these shock are filled via a needle through the lower eye mount (before the bearing is installed). One of the biggest problems with a Schrader is the possibility of someone trying to check this pressure w/ a normal tire pressure gauge. Simply checking the pressure will severely drop the pressure as the volume is low.
You are correct, the rebound knob is basically a needle/seat bleed that allow the oil to bypass rebound valve stack. 24 positions total. One of the things I love about this shock is that turning the knob will actually make significant noticeable changes while driving. I’ve played w/ shocks before that had a lot of clicks (12-30…) but the actual range of dampening didn’t really change that much.

The reason I ask is I am fully capable of doing my own shock tuning. I thought maybe If I wanted a little more compression I could add some nitrogen. If they R foxes then more than likely they come with 200psi in them or 150 since they're adjustable. Doesn't take away from their quality, just something I was wondering. Probably the single biggest contributor to these being awesome is the size of the body and their oil capacity.

I'm shopping/researching shocks to replace the Bilsteins I currently have now . ( for next summer) I want something adjustable, and don't need the coil over feature.
