    No, I dont think we even have a company like that in my littleish town.

    I’m hoping the business that said they’re preparing to start rebuild actually do fairly soon and that they can get them rebuilt fairly fast.

    We have a Lowe’s. I don’t know if they offer one. It’s not really a big deal, early spring is when I don’t really need to use my truck so it’s not a big deal.

    Maybe I'm not being clear, it won't work, it will do absolutely nothing, it doesn't cover it at all.

    Did you check with any of the local motorcycle shops? They typically have the nitrogen and rebuild shocks often.

    When I first got these I wanted to get them recharged and I needed a spanner to adjust them. Every shop besides gave me a weird wrench for something (I can’t remember what it was for). I kinda lost faith in most places around me, for this kind of stuff anyway.

    Sounds like shipping them is your best bet. When I shipped mine I had it back on my truck in a week

    I haven’t check with the shop that recharged them yet, mainly because it just haven’t got around to it.
    If they don’t and the other shop doesn’t have their shit together in a few once thats probably my only option.

    Yeah homemade, I was just guna buy some armor but wanted to try and build it to see if the cost would be lower.

    I would say over all cost is the same, considering the time investment/materials/tools but... I feel the real benefit is if something breaks you can fix it. Or need to add something simple you make it.
