The Standard Shock Rebuild
Our standard shock rebuild includes fresh FOX Red shock oil, OEM-quality seals, a nitrogen recharge, and complete inspection and cleaning of the shock’s internal components. Every rebuild also includes before-and-after cleaning photos, so you can see exactly what was inside your shocks and the work performed.
Vehicle Drop-Off
Skip the hassle of removing your Raptor’s shocks yourself. Bring in your full vehicle and we can remove the shocks for you, and torque everything back to factory specifications. No more breaking a sweat in your driveway and leaving your truck on jack stands!
Custom Tuning
Factory shock tuning is a compromise designed to suit a wide range of drivers and conditions. Our custom tuning modifies the internal valving to optimize your shocks for your payload, driving style, & terrain. We modify your shocks specific to you, and do not recycle a tune from another vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please call us at 720-331-5593 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The recommended service interval from Fox is 30,000-50,000 miles for mixed use driving. If you are a frequent off-roader, this mileage can be much less.
If you notice your suspension not feeling quite right, having an extra bounce over a speed bump, or is extra chattery on rough surfaces, it may be time for a rebuild regardless of mileage.
If your shocks are leaking you are well past due for a shock service.
Our Standard lead time is about a week regardless of the service being performed. We also offer same day services by appointment for an additional fee. This helps minimize the downtime of your vehicle and is common for daily drivers.
If you have a specific deadline you're looking to meet, give us a call at 720-331-5593.
Absolutely! The standard Raptor tune often has a floaty sensation in the front of the vehicle that can be annoying and even make some people car sick. In addition, the rear can be harsh on cracks in the pavement and even hop on the freeway. We can custom tune the shocks to smooth out those features and make the Raptor more balanced and confidence inspiring.
The aftermarket options available for Raptors are actually the exact same technology as the OEM shocks, just with a tune in it, and some unnecessary hoses and extra parts. We can achieve the same level of performance or better than the aftermarket shocks with the existing shocks on your Raptor, and the cost is much less. Check out our tuning page to find out how!
We store the vehicles outside in a secure dirt parking lot. This lot is behind 2 locked gates and is very private. There is also security cameras overlooking the lot.
Yes! Prior to shipping in your shocks, please give us a heads up, and make sure you put your name, email, and phone number in the box so we can reference it back to your estimate.
We are focused right now on the rebuilding and servicing of shocks already on the vehicle. The extent of our vehicle work is installing and removing the shocks from the vehicle as a convenience for our customers. We do not offer new suspension installs of shocks, lift kits, upper control arms, etc.
