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.
Spring Kits
We use the highest quality spring kits available for both ride quality and longevity. We use information from a brief interview with you and photos/inspection of your vehicle to select a spring kit to best match your terrain, driving style, and payload. Selecting the correct spring kit is a huge step in getting the best ride for you.
Custom Tuning
Factory shock tuning is a compromise designed to suit a wide range of drivers and conditions. Especially when paired with a spring kit, Our custom tuning takes your UTV to the next level. 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 UTV'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 UTV on jack stands!
Fox Resi-End Cap Upgrade
It is required to upgrade the end cap for a Fox shock the first time it is in for service to be able to properly recharge it with nitrogen. We have these in stock, and it is a 1 time purchase for the life of the shock. It does provide a little more nitrogen volume, but more importantly it prevents nitrogen leakage over the life of the shock!
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.
The recommended service interval from Fox is 2500-3000 miles for recreational driving. If you frequently drive fast or get the shocks hot, this mileage can be much less.
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 regardless of the service being performed. On occasion, springs will take longer to ship in. We also offer same day services by appointment for an additional fee.
If you have a specific deadline you're looking to meet, give us a call at 720-331-5593.
Absolutely! The stock UTV tunes have to cover a variety of terrains and payloads from across the US including woods and mud from other regions of the country that are not applicable to the terrain seen in the southwest. This often leads to a compromise where the UTV begins bucking on larger terrain and feels harsh on rocky surfaces. We can custom tune the shocks to smooth out those features and make the UTV more balanced and confidence inspiring.
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 spring kit we select is the right one for you.
If your UTV is very custom or has a racing application, we can measure your vehicle and design an custom spring kit for your application. check out our pre-runner & buggy tuning page to learn about the process!
If your Fox shocks come with a rubber pellet style resi end cap, We highly recommend you replace your resi end caps on your Fox shocks for the first service. This will allow us to properly fill the shocks with nitrogen and mitigate the risk for leaking out nitrogen. Over time, the rubber becomes brittle and leaks out nitrogen over time.
If your Fox shocks come equipped with a seal screw, you have the option to replace the seal screw with a schrader valve, or replace the resi end cap.
In either scenario, we have high quality components to replace what we need to to get the job done!
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.
