I just signed up today as a new member and to all who own a Raptor -- NICE!!
This is just an incredible vehicle and you just have to love this amazing piece of American machinery.
I plan to purchase a new SCAB Raptor in the next few months and would like to get some information regarding the stock Fox shock system. I spoke with several local dealership service departments and none are aware of any service requirements for this shock system. I may have misinterpreted some information posted on the Fox website, but it suggests shock service at 10,000 miles and a possible rebuild at 50,000 miles. Some posts on this forum suggest a bit of maintenance as well, but I'm not sure if it's for the stock system.
Questions:
Does the stock Fox shock system require maintenance such as service intervals to replace seals and check oil/nitrogen?
If so, can the dealership perform this service and how much does it cost?
If these shocks need to be replaced, what is the cost for each and/or the entire system?
I expect to use the vehicle as one my daily drivers and if most of the driving is on road with some off road use for hunting purposes and dealing with wintry conditions, can I reasonably expect the shocks to last around 50,000 miles? Certainly no severe baja running will be encountered.
Thanks for any information you can provide and Merry Christmas to all.
