Totally understand what you are up against, family and kids come first! You were instrumental in setting the bar for shock price rebuilding to keep other builders competitive, you were a great pioneer for the raptor community . I appreciate everything you have done for us. Good luck with your future ventures.

I will still be helping Paul but to help the community I need to let him take lead as time.

I will be documenting a ICON 3.0 rebuild soon as we have a member who needs it. I will post up that DIY as well as Paul will offer ICON rebuilds.

FOX and KING 3.0's we can do now as well. I will make a DIY on those the next sets I get. They are pretty close to the same steps as the 2.5 with the biggest differences in the cap and of course bypass tube / cylinder.

Oooooh I see how it is Adam :Moon:

Your still in shock school :flipthebird:

And besides you are testing the flutter stack so we can offer Stock Raptor Shock upgrades.

Yes folks you read that right. We can improve performance of stock shocks. Fox offers a shim kit change to give a softer initial hit. 1 inch softer to improve off road use of stock shocks.

That's awesome!

Can you give us an idea as well as to what the wait list is looking like?

I had some extra cash from the first builds and thanks to @svc for selling me some shocks, the wait time should not be lower.

Issue is people returning them is on average 3 weeks. So if the gang here gets them, swap them quick.

Forum members,

Recently I changed jobs which has taken time away from me being able to rebuild shocks for the community. In addition, my wife and I are expecting out second child at the end of July. This as many parents here know will be my primary focus as family first.

Because of all the recent life events, I am turning over the shock rebuilding to a local forum member @Stagecoach. I have personally trained him on how to rebuild Stock Raptor shocks and 2.5 Fox & King Bypass shocks. As he is handling these there will be a price associated with these as he has costs to cover.

I will help Paul as time allows but I have to be realistic of my time or lack thereof and turn it over to keep the community off roading.

Rebuilds are now $300 for all four (4) shocks plus shipping both directions.

You can reach Paul Dilley - [email protected]. I have provided him the current wait list and he will contact you all as shocks are returned.

Nice...I had actually found Paul through his eBay ad. I'm on his list!
Thanks.

As Quickly as we get them returned from forum members and ebay purchasers we will turn them around and send them out in the order of the wait list. Sorry for any delays this may cause.
