[QUOTE="Kirk Heppler, post: 1584773, member: 45997"] Hey everybody!! So, I’m beginning to think I may need to have my stock shocks rebuilt on my gen 2. I recently added Eibach springs up front, Icons are on their way for the rear. Truck currently sits on 37” Ko2’s with 17” Methods. Pretty stoked on these modest upgrades thus far. However, I’ve recently noticed that the rides been a little rough. For example, if I hit a large speed bump cruising at around 25mph, the shock compresses then releases fairly hard. Theres almost a “duh-dunk” sound, it’s not very smooth at all. Doesn’t really seem to absorb bumps the way it did not long ago. The trucks got 63k miles on it, so I’m assuming that’s the problem. I have a couple options and I’m pretty sure I already know what most are going to suggest lol. Rebuild my shocks or upgrade to 3.0’s. I know, I know, go big or go home, right? Well, one costs $900 and the other is about 6x that. There’s a company based out of Texas that sends you rebuilt shocks for $200/piece, you just send your old ones back after they’re swapped. Pretty cool I think. I’m looking for advice/suggestions on my shock situation. Does it sound like the shocks are shot? Is there a better way of determining so without breaking them down? If I were to upgrade instead of rebuilding, any recommendations on favorite aftermarket shocks?Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks for reading!!:rockit: [/QUOTE]
