    So I've been running the Fox 2.0 s since August '08 and am feeling like the road is coming though my floor at times. My suspension eats up most anything until I've been out for a few hrs, then I start to feel and hear everything. I do a fair amount of off roading and drive the truck for work everyday as well. I've put the better part of 60K on this suspension.

    1. Is there a tell tale way to test these shocks?
    2. I have done the majority of my mods and repairs myself,.. can I order up the parts and figure this one out too?
    3. If they are cooked and the repair is out of my hands, can anyone recommend a trustworthy shop in the Vancouver, BC area who will rebuild these for me?

    Thanks for any help.

    Rebuild is extremely simple, I have done a few sets.

    Major reason for shit ride is your coils are to preloaded (adjusted for more lift). I would say do the rebuild and then report back on the ride quality after. If you need rebuild instructions I might still have the document on my computer, you can PM me your email address and I will shoot it your way.
