Need your FOX TRD PRO shocks rebuilt?

Just got my shocks back from being rebuilt. Just letting anyone out there know about another option for having them rebuilt here in Tucson, Arizona. Save on the shipping if you live close-ish.

He even put schrader valves in for next time.

I’m not looking forward to the downtime when I need mine done.

 

Yeah, no kidding, I'm sure it's a huge hassle. When the time comes I will probably buy used 5100's just for that. Unless I come across another deal like these.

 

Kept my OG 4600s for this very reason.

 

What did it cost to get them rebuilt??

 

$160 each, and that included oil, seals, and nitrogen.

 

That's not bad at all

 

Nope, best I've seen. And I didn't have to ship there and back.

 

@BillyB do you know if jtechmotorports sells the rebuild kits for diy?

 

I don't, but I believe the seals are available on shockseals.com. I saw that on a video from Shock Surplus.

 

What was the downtime on the rebuild? My 21 pro has 60k on it and I do a decent amount of rough dirt in Utah and the surrounding states and I'm not sure if I'm just imagining that it's not riding as smooth, or I'm due for some maintenence. Toyota quoted me at a ridiculous price and would have to send them away to get done so I'm trying to find a local SLC shop for the job.

 

For me I had no downtime. I bought the shocks used.
I called, he said he could rebuild them since they should be like Fox's Raptor shock. He said it was dune season and he was swamped, would probably take a week. I said, no problem, not in a hurry. I dropped them off, a week later they were ready for me.

FYI, I actually bought these shocks from someone in ST. George, Utah. Shipping to Tucson was around $140 including packaging. So figure that in your rebuild.

 

Could you get unladen measurements so i can determine if those'll fit? Length? Travel? Lower mount width? top pattern?

 

No, they are now installed on my truck.

What are you putting them on?

 

Do you know how many miles were on them?

 

1st gen. Prolly with uca's and sway bar links.

my bad, 2.5 gen is tall like a taco. Was curious about the 3rd gen fox shocks. Sometimes i dont read good.

 

I was told they were taken off at around 6k miles. I couldn't verify, so that's why I decided to have them rebuilt. Joe at JTECH said they probably did only have 6k miles on them, everything was perfect inside.

 

I don't know if second gen shocks will fit first gen.

 

Appreciate it thanks! How are you liking them?

 

I like them a lot so far. I don't know if I would pay $3k+ for brand new ones, there might be better options right around that price range.
But, the purchase price, shipping to me, and including having them rebuilt, I'm into them for about $100 more than the price of new assembled Bilstein 6112/5160.
Which I had on my previous Tundra.
So far (about 2 hours off-road) I like the Fox better. Especially for slower speed off-roading. They are much plusher. The Bilstein had better road handling, though. Far less body roll and brake diving. The Fox kind of feels like they float on the road. Potholes are better with the Fox. Obviously that extra plushness. Those are just my quick observations.
I haven't had the opportunity for higher speed off-roading yet.

 

Here's the maintenance schedule from Fox themselves.

 

Fox quoted me 14 day turnaround. Dropped at UPS on Saturday and got the email receipt from their service center in Minnesota on Wednesday.
