[QUOTE="mmaterni, post: 1216475, member: 16857"] The tools are the largest up front cost but the rebuild process is straight forward. The largest cost for most owners when having someone else do it is the shipping and down time. Having a shop that can remove, rebuild, and reinstall same day is ideal but shops that can do that, at least in my area, are few and far between. Most times the cost for a 4 shock rebuild is significantly higher than the one time cost of the tools to do it yourself. Plus once you have the tools your cost is greatly reduced for the next rebuild. If you are going to spend $1000 or more to have your shocks rebuilt then I highly encourage you to consider just upgrading to 3.0 shocks. There are plenty of vendors on here that would be happy to assist with your purchase. Either way though let me know if I can assist in some way. If you decide to stay stock the best thing to do is just get a used set that needs rebuilt and learn on those to minimize cost and down time. If you buy a second set I can show you how to break the shock down and give rebuild tips I have learned along the way. Assuming you make it to the run of course.
