Ok i had my truck serviced and checked by KHC in South Brunswick....all was smooth until the shock inspection and checking pressure...17k miles 95% on road normal driving....front driver side shock had 120psi from 220, front passenger shock at 210, both rear shocks are at 150psi both leaking.....only ONE out of 4 was ok. WTF....what a major waste of money. The work was done by shock rebuilders in CA though the exchange program last June at the final cost of $840 after the exchange. AT this point i will drive the truck until the shocks will turn into total shit and invest into FOX 3.0s.....

Shit dude that sucks. I just got mine in from Forged Off Road. I pray I don’t have the same problems

Did you do the fox recommended checks at 10,000 miles? Just curious. If I’m understanding correctly, nitrogen pressures dropping can cause leaking seals and other issues.

at 17k miles. I do not have anyone local here to do it.

I haven't lost faith in rebuilding. Only that one guy that did mine and Bulletnjm's that leaked. I had them redone by Holeshot. I have only put 5K miles tops on them thus far. I have high hopes for them. I hope I don't eat those words. Time will tell.
