    Kurt @ DC Shock services, Downsouth Motorsports or check in with @Anthony250 about shock rebuilds.

    Be prepared to learn how to be patient whichever route you go.

    Super reliable and knowledgeable guy with a quick turn around time. Doesn't hurt that he works for LSK.

    He has rebuilt my suspension and many local TW members! Proud to have him as a friend. :thumbsup:

    From what I've heard, it's a mix. Really depends on how they feel. Obviously, if they are leaking, it is time.

    If not, get them rebuilt when you feel you are losing dampening.

    Also. OP I'm having mine rebuilt at CTS in San Dimas right now. They are fairly affordable and have a 1 day turnaround.

    I didn't have time :( Working so I had to find a place that would let me drop the truck off, pull the shocks, rebuild, and put them back on while I was at work.

    Isn't that place a body shop? They know how to rebuild shocks? 1 day turnaround is awesome though.

    They are a full service off road shop. They combined with L/G enterprises (paint/body shop). They do suspension, custom fab, etc

    DC Shock Services in San Dimas is great. Just had all 4 of mine rebuilt this week. If you drop off the truck, you just need to make an appointment.
