Replacing shocks on a 95 with Ride Control?
Ok, what's the drill for replacing these? Is it just plug and play or is there a procedure?
Also, where are you guys buying these shocks from?
Thanks in Advance! :cheers:

this is what I would do...
replace the stock bilsteins with cheap KYBs... then, send the bilsteins out for rebuild.
as for the process... not a problem... takes little or no time. 90 minutes or less.

Re: Replacing shocks on a 95 with Ride Control? (bogus)
Where do you send them out to be rebuilt? Is the combined cost of the cheap shocks plus the rebuild cheaper than new Bilstiens? :cheers:

The cost to get a rebuild on the shocks is 55 bucks if nothing is wrong with them. Or 100 per shock for revalve. You should be able to find a set of replacement shocks for pretty cheap.
Buying the FX3 shocks new is around 179-199.
