    One is. It seems to have stopped so I don't know if it's empty or what. Life has prevented me from doing anything about it.

    yep, find a authorized rebuilder and have them fix it. Shit happens. It sucks, but anything can happen. Fox, King, Icon, Bil, OME all can leak.

    You're correct, that is plan. Just blows because I could see if I were horse beating the suspension and they started leaking, but I do 98% city driving. To me it's just total bs, but oh well. Like you said stuff happens

    you just never know what will happen. just like one of the other posters said, he had his brand new kings leak. sometimes you just get some road debris at the wrong spot and kick a seal and boom, it leaks. I always keep my stock shocks with spacers installed for when this happens to make it a quick swap so i can send them in for rebuilding.

    98% of the roads in our city have bigger potholes than most of the off road roads have around these parts.... so yeah driving in the city ain't easy on the suspensions. Just sayin....

    Tru dat. That's why I think it's funny when people hate on guys ok installing heavy duty suspensions on our trucks. Most road conditions are as bad as driving off-road, I ag we with you there

    Good call. I am more than likely going to order a spacer lift for the front while I have the front struts off. What kit are you using?

    I wouldnt chalk cheap chinese shocks with a brand name up to "stuff happens". There are thousands upon thousands of oem suspensions out there that will be in service for >80k miles with out issue

    Agreed man, sometimes a dud happens. At the same time, this is what the warranty on these bad boys should be there for. Hope its not too expensive to send them out.

    SDHQ will repair them for $116/shock + shipping. 303 Shocks in Denver will do it for $100/shock + shipping. Looks I know where I'll be sending the coilover for repair

    Bummer fresh coils are costing more than shipping to get done for this early in the game. It must be done though, that spot in Denver sounds appealing.

    Man that really is bull though that you are a few days outside of your warranty and they cant help you out though. I cant chime in yet, but I would be curious if another company wouldnt sort of honor it? I mean 1.25 years is one thing, but a few days...reminds of when my samsung tv took a shit. Thing was like 10 days outside of warranty, sorry bro play again.
