I’d be happy to ship them anywhere you want, long as you pay for it. No shock rebuilders I’ve seen offer free shipping. It’s pretty cheap, TSW bought my last set of shocks from me and it was $27 to ship it from SC to TX.

$27 to ship 4 shocks? Thru who? TSW charges $170 to AZ which covers both ways

Just 2 shocks. Front with no coils. UPS with an eBay discount.

Couldn’t find a car wash that was not frozen. Guess it will have to wait until I get home.

What did the old fluid look like? Any idea how many miles on it? Did it smell like death or like a burning car(?)

All new bearings, races and seals. The ring gear, spider gears and pinion were in good shape and within spec…only the original bearings and races were worn! I will just have to settle with a rebuilt rear for another 160K and missed my opportunity to get a sexy new Currie Raptor Race unit!

I had previously replaced the pinion seal, new fluid and Spicer cover at 100K. The fluid previously and now were not bad. This time there were tiny shavings but no bits or chips. In a previous post I showed the worn bearings

The strike area on the bottom isn't bashed in, either. That's a good sign.

I did reuse the original shims(test installed it with new crushed sleeve, checked out within spec and measurements!) saved on not having to disassemble more than once!), and did replace the crush sleeve and new pinion nut…the pinion pic has the new bearings installed , but used the old crush sleeve to compare measurements….
