Revalving oem shocks for Geiser springs

[M3toSVT]

I have an extra set of gen2 oem Fox shocks that I plan to put Geiser bros springs on. They have less than 100 miles on them so basically new. Is there anyone who can revalve them for the Geiser springs? Would a different shim stack specifically for the Geiser springs be better due to the ride height and spring rate change? I don’t live in an area to justify factory 3.0s, I’ll do some laps on the motocross track and some logging roads, unfortunately the truck will see more pavement than dirt. I can get a set of 4 fox factory shocks for 4900, just can’t justify the cost.

Interested! Any news on this? I’m running Geisers but have a set of OEM take off shocks ready to go on when the stockers need a rebuild.

By the way, full contact details, including email, for SDG are listed in their Instagram profile.

Anything ever come of this. Wondering the same thing.

I’ve been busy at work and installing to parts I bought this year.

now that I'm retired, I should be able to spend some time talking to different shops about this...I'm also thinking about a set of Geisers so this is very relevant to me....will post whatever I find...

Problem with a revalve is it doesn't do to much to the ride as to theres so many free bleed holes drilled in the damn inner tube.. then at the bottom it has huge holes drilled in the tube to free bleed all rebound valveing..I personally hate it..I dont know why fox doesn't see the need to control rebound valveing. It work good on other vehicles that can be driven aggressively constantly, but for the raptor it's not enough dampening.. I put eibachs on mine and pulled the sway bar off.. I flutter stacked all compression valveing and tightened up the rebound valve but still rides around like it has blown shock..i will be buying the kings because of such a different internal bypass design.

OK...that doesn't make any sense, at full bump I would want max rebound....which is what I would ask to be done as a re-valve...too much "pogo" at full compression...

Try this 619-988-1734

I found it on their fb page

Called them and got the answer I was afraid of...because the valving is a function of the piston design, valving stack and free bleed holes in the internal by-pass tube it looks like nobody so far taken the time to do the R&D needed to figure all this out....
You can increase the rebound damping on the piston head, and just might fix one issue, but could now have too much rebound in the ride height zone requiring the free bleed holes in that location be opened up....but nobody knows how much to open them up with out an ass load of shock testing...

Watching too. Im in this boat as well. I'm running gieser springs on stock shocks that are about due for a rebuild. Posted here for opinions about Forged off road rebuild program and got mixed reviews. I dont off road too hard and cant afford Kings, but something better than stock valving would be beneficial if its not through the roof expensive.

All i have up front is a Camburg 1.5" spacer, but it did take some of the nose dive out during heavy braking...but have been thinking about the Geisers....so this is important to me also...
I'll try BajaHQ (Cameron Steele) tomorrow...

I’m very happy with my Geiser/deaver combo

There is no need to revalve the shocks. The spring extends the stroke travel out is all, and it’s a progressive spring anyway. The shock compression and rebound is still just fine. I put on Eibachs and Deavers and the truck suspension feels much better than stock.
