Bilstein shocks

I just bought new Bilstein shocks for my lifted 350. One video I watched said that you had to charge the shocks (although they were not Bilsteins). Do I need to do this?

No those are both sealed nonrebuildable non adjustable. You just remove the old shocks and bolt these on. If they were the race remote reservoir type those have the capability of adding nitrogen
