Dude you know the last time someone called him “Mr.” In here? He won’t know how to respond to that type of kindness! He’s probably read that and is still passed out on the floor I’m sure when he wakes he will respond in like kindness.
ha! i finally woke up and read it again without passing out this time

I just did an exchange with TSW for mine…for a 2018 Raptor. I told TSW about the upgrades I made with my suspension (Geiser +3” in the front and Icon stage 2 in the rear)…and they were able to recommend upgrades, adjustments and improvements over the stock parts on a rebuilt set. The truck drives incredibly well right now. TSW was an excellent choice for me. Also added RPG top hats on the Geisers up front.

Well, simple math would suggest that, if Mr. Car Stereo Company off roads his truck a fair amount, combined with lots of high mileage, that his shocks would need rebuilt roughly every 25k miles, maybe even sooner depending on how intense of off-roading he's doing. Say his truck has 250,000 miles on it, with shocks getting rebuilt every 25k miles.....that would be 10 total rebuilds. So this hypothetical scenario would then indicate, that he very well could be on his 7th rebuild, and have never replaced the motor or trans.

And yes, if your truck is a daily, or your only vehicle, definitely would be beneficial to keep them, or if you simply don't care, there is a market for them for sure!
It’s not the off-roading… it’s the driving over the starbux parking blocks and mall speed bumps that’s wearing out his shocks so frequently.
