Quarantine Shock Rebuild

[Vader]

Making the most of this non-drive moment I rebuilt my rear shocks.
135k Gen 1... in need of this to stop the "clunk" when traveling over bumps.

Not difficult, Took A couple of nights to do after Work from Home was done.
Took me a week to collect all the necessary tools and Nitrogen capabilities.

ready to go on the fronts next...

Wow, impressive. Wish I could do stuff like that!

I think this should be in Maintenance, but definitely cool!

My bad,
I am better with a wrench than a mouse...how do I move it?

 

[Booth9999]

How would you rate the difficulty?

 

[Vader]

I would say it was like doing a wheel bearing job on a 2wheel drive car.
Remove, clean, & Replace, pack, Rebuild then put back on the car.
For reference:
I have rebuild Front forks on dirt bikes (DRZ400) that were harder...
Replacing the spark plugs on my Raptor was harder.
Raptor brake jobs are easier.

The hardest part was replacing them back on the truck @ 220PSI.

Nice. Always wanted to try this. Have some spare shocks, this is motivating me to give it a go. Thanks.

Give us a "play by play" if don't mind. I'm also intrigued.

For sure. I will film the entire thing. I know there's a how to already but the more vids/pics we have on here the better off everyone will be.

I did just post my truck for sale but after a discussion just now with the guys at RPG Offroad, I might be buying their stage 3 kit and keeping the truck LoL. I'll rebuild the spares I have over the next few weekends to have as backups in case anything happens.
