    Search for "rebuild shocks" in the upper toolbar and you will find lots of posts about this. I had Bruce rebuild a set for me and he did a great job and is a good guy.

    Guess I need to start looking for a set of rear shocks to get rebuilt. I've never liked the aftermarket ones the PO put on.

    Have you noticed any problem with the OEM shocks not having enough travel at full suspension articulation with your lift?

    Pics of shocks after getting them back from Bruce:

    After putting the rubber seals on from Home Depot, that Bruce said will prevent rusting on the front:

    Ryan, what was the turn around time and cost? I see on his site $70 for rebuilds...if that is right that is a smoking deal when you consider the cost of new.

    Turn around was pretty quick from what I recall I want to say under 2 weeks, but I am sure he would work with you if you need them asap, he really will take his time and make sure you're happy, he even gave me a print out as to what the issue with each individual shock was. I believe it was right around $500 with shipping. He quotes around $125 per shock which includes all parts and labor, and he takes off a discount for an order of 4 rebuilds and end up around $115 per shock before shipping.
