    Cut into the bed and have the shocks poke up into the bed. It's like an overlanding bed rack but cooler.

    I was considering making some nifty mini bed cage that cut into the bed a little bit so I could tuck the shocks inboard to avoid the tire rubbing on the shock during articulation. But then I decided that's a lot of work and Archive offered me their new relocate for testing, sooooooooo

    There is a place in NC that can do it too.. but they would need to order the seals and other stuff, Im sure, like RRT. But the NC place builds for Raptors. I didnt want to ship my stuff somewhere, and then have to wait for them to order supplies, and then finally start my rebuild. Just send it to an authorized service center in the first place

    Based off a google search looks like they specialize in race cars, seems legit. Since the one side is good I’d just get it rebuilt and hopefully solve the saggy shock problem. I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see. I appreciate the tip. @fatfurious2 that’s never fun, don’t mind waiting as long as I know it’s in the process since the stock rear suspension rides alright with the AAL.

    I dont mind waiting either. The truck isnt even at my house :anonymous: its at a friends. I spoke to downsouth on Monday, and they should be starting this week on them. I wont bother them until maybe Friday or Tuesday of next week.

    Just my personal opinion, I wouldnt want to take my truck shocks to get rebuilt at a place that specializes in BMWs. Yeah they could do it, but so could I.. Id just rather have someone that knows how to work on truck stuff, work on my truck shocks.
