After this weekend I can say for sure that my factory shocks need to be rebuilt, truck is bouncy going down the road and all the tell tale signs of bad shocks. Soooo I talked to Jason@SDHQ earlier and got a price on everything he says I need for the rebuild, but my question now is what are my other options other than full replacement? Revalving? I want to do some different springs soon but I'm on a small budget right now (under $500) so what are my options? What would y'all do?

I'm going to be looking into a revalve of my front shocks in the near future so I'm interested in this as well.

I'm interested as well but I don't like the idea of sending them cross country for a rebuild especially since this is my daily driver. Downtime needs to be less than 3 days. Yea I could probably live with 5 days at the most.

I have a ton of Factory fronts around the shop that are in great shape. If you want, send me a pm and I can get them out to you. That way you don't have down time. As far as changing the spring rates, keep in mind depending on the spring, valving might need to be changed to control the extra or reduced rate.

This sounds like your best bet. That is cool that you guys would do that for him.
