End Use: 2018 with 75K miles, 95% daily driver that’ll do some fireroad driving and crawling for camping trips. Currently the washboard roads bounce my rear end around like crazy and speed bumps suck too because shocks are worn out.

1: Rebuild stock rear shocks and add hydro bump stops for harder hits ~$2500

2: Spend a little more and go Fox 3.0 bypasses ~$3000

Which is the better option for my use? Will bypasses help with hard hits better/worse than the bump kit?

$3k only gets you Fox 3.0s for the front but you do get a new spring w/ em (doubtful that your stock front springs are worn w/ 75k miles tho)

Can’t you buy NEW non-live valve shocks for reasonable price now? I am almost positive, personally I’d buy 4 new ones then sell your used take offs on eBay or to a rebuilder to recoup some. $$$$
