Use a shock pump to pressurize the shock to the recorded air pressure plus 20%. After adding air to the shock, the pressure will need to be equalized between the shock chambers.

Record the air pressure value on the pump, then unthread it from the shock. Slowly but firmly press or sit on the saddle to compress the shock until there is a hissing sound. This sound indicates air transfer between chambers.

Reinstall the pump and pressurize the shock to the desired air pressure. Record the air pressure, then unthread it from the shock. Repeat this process until you reach the desired amount of sag, then install the valve cap.
