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.
Re-Spring & Vehicle Meaurement
The first step in properly setting up a vehicle is getting it on the correct springs. Springs balance the vehicle out naturally and provide an even bounce both on the front and rear of the vehicle taking into account motion ratios and weight distribution. drop off your vehicle and have it re-sprung properly - using math and engineering calculations! Check out the process on our tuning page.
Custom Tuning
Off the shelf aftermarket shocks have generic valving and are not meant for your vehicle. With our custom tuning options, we modify the internal valving to optimize your shocks for your payload, driving style, & terrain. The tunes in your shocks are specific to you, and we do not recycle a tune from another vehicle.
Vehicle Drop-Off
Skip the hassle of removing your 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 vehicle on jack stands!
Desert Tuning
Tune in the desert to refine your vehicle performance to the terrain you actually drive on. Unlike other shock tuners, we open up the shocks in the desert & change the internals to optimize your tune. Call us for details!
Frequently Asked Questions
Please call us at 720-331-5593 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
There is no recommended mileage from the manufacturers for universal shocks. They don't know your application or how hard you drive. Mileage can vary anywhere from 1000 off road miles to 50,000 road miles. If you frequently drive fast or get the shocks hot, your recommended mileage will be on the low end of the spectrum.
If you notice your suspension not feeling quite right, having an extra bounce over a 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. On occasion, springs will take longer to ship in. We also offer same day services by appointment for an additional fee.

We run Eibach or SDG spec springs on all customer's cars, and select the springs based on feedback from you on the terrain, driving style, payload, etc. to ensure the springs we select are the right one for you.
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.
