FOX Shocks

[Taube2013]

I have 52000 miles on my 2013 Raptor, looks like it is time for service/rebuild on my shocks. Is there anyone in Michigan that can do this ? Or is the you remove them and mail them to Fox the only way to get this done ? Thanks Tom

If you can't find a local source for your Fox shocks another option is the Raptor Offroad Community exchange option...

Removal question on front fox shocks do you need to disconnect sway bar or control arm to get shock out? Or can you just jack up and you will have the room to remove and tips would be great thank you!

Unhook the sway bar, tie rod, upper control arm. Make sure you tie up the spindle so that it doesn't fall too far forward (outward).

This might help with some info:

@Taube2013 Did they have an estimated turn around time on your shocks being rebuilt? Mine need to be done soon as well and I am trying to decide where to send them to be done.

What are the symptoms indicating it's time for a rebuild? I'm closing in on 50,000 miles.

I started to notice a pretty rough ride at almost 60K. Picked up some rears with about 20K on them from a forum member and it's night and day. Haven't found a good deal on fronts yet but I can tell they're really shot because it's rough when I hit a bump then smooth as the back goes over. Also the front is pretty bouncy over a series of bumps.

If you don't mind me asking, what did Fox quote you for a rebuild?
