which means I can take an air compressor pump to them?

If so, how would I level them out separately being that the lines come together at a T?

The line is 'T'-ed so that the air pressure will automatically equalize. IE - adjust itself. Assuming the car sits level with no air in them, it will sit level with pressure as well.

is there a guideline of what psi they should be set to? different for different uses? IE on-road/off-road ?

Max air rating should be stamped into the shock. It will ride very hard with more than a few pounds in it. Try 15-25 and see if it picks the car up, and check the ride.

Round file um, then buy a Coil over or turn the spring plates up with some KYB's or ? $$$$

Airshocks will bounce you all over the place. There good to raise rear height, thats about it. Think Pogo stick...

True.

I had a pair on an El Camino. Great for leveling out the ride height when it was loaded, but when it was empty so were they.
