Question, I see that Fox offers to rebuild your shocks, it appears to be $180 a shock. is this true?

Also, for those of you that send the shocks out, what do you do in the mean time while you wait for them to come back? Do you have a second set sitting around and keep swapping between them?

Alright, and what do you do with the truck in the mean time? It can't just sit with the shocks out of it.

You have to leave it on jacks, do the exchange program, or buy another set to use in the meantime. Don't lower it onto the tires without shocks.

Forged Offroad in Loomis, Ca. has an exchange program. You send in your shocks to be rebuilt and they send you an exchange set that have already been rebuilt. Or get the rebuilds first and then sent in your old shocks.


Paul and Matt the owners are fantastic guys, I am currently trading my electrical services for them working on my Raptor. Win win.


Give them a call

I believe mine were $150 a shock from FOX to rebuild them. They have a quick turnaround time too. I took the expensive route and bought 4 new ones and then sent my originals in to get serviced. I bought them from autonation.com, of course tasca has them too, cheaper than the dealer and they are the exact same.

If you do exchange program there is no down time. You get your shocks shipped to you and you send the old ones back....
