NoCal I would hit up forged off road, you can probably schedule a drop off if your local I’d give them a call

How many miles on your truck and are you offroading a lot? Just curious on why one of your rear shocks need rebuilding. On my 2015 Lariat FX4 the OEM shocks were good even at 80K miles with towing a Alumaweld 17ft boat maybe 10x per year and light duty offroading to some fishing spots.
the raptor shock is not designed to last as long as other shocks. with performance, comes loss of longevity. rebuilding/replacing after x amount of miles is dependent on how and where you drive. there is a manual that states how often the shocks need to be rebuilt or replaced. substantially more often if you are offroading a lot

Ah yes I see. I don't wheel as much and only drove it at the dunes once. I'm looking to get Icon or Deavers leaf springs down the road so maybe rebuild OEM Fox shocks same time, at 45k miles now
i have played in the dunes up there. too many trees for me though. but i know of the sand you have been in. as far as shock rebuilds, some can occur in 15,000 miles or 60,000 miles. (eh.... 300 miles if you are as idiotic as me) you being at 45k, i would probably rebuild soon
These are 3.0 external bypass coilovers. Impressive to LOOK at alone but obviously unlike anything found on any other factory vehicle by a long shot. Any shock will degrade over time and need a rebuild or replacement. I've had fox, king, etc. Also had a Evo X from brand new to 90k miles, it certainly was less dampened and more springy feeling when I sold it with factory shocks.
