[RacerX]

Looking for a competent rebuilder of Fox products. Don't mind shipping them, but I'm in Apple Valley. Thanks...

Buy the valving kit and the seal kit - they are very simple to do on your own...

You really should have them gone through by a compotent shock tech. The best shop I have found in vegas is BUNDERSON RACING PH# (702) 382-3375 CALL BETWEEN 3P.M. & 5P.M. If you don't get anybody leave a message.

There's a guy in Hesperia who is an excellent rebuilder. He's done several of mine in the past years and is reasonable and FAST!

Call Ray Palmer(DRB) at 760-220-9763. Ray knows him.

My suspension guy will do all of that stuff for a very reasonable price. If you send them to him he will completely rebuild them, revealve etc... He used to tune all of Foddrill's cars. I think he is working for Kartek now but as a side gig he does this for us who want to save some money. The dude is top notch. His name is Mike Arthur, #602.697.3225 He was out in Glamis with me over presidents and did mine and a couple others in camp. Tell him Dave with the blue SCU sent you.
