WELL DONE BEN.

6-700 for all 4 (parts +labor)

Just did it with my front coil-overs. Exact same thing except for needing a spring compressor. I got it off Amazon, only one or 2 that will work for king coilovers

@@JacobMueting thanks for that info! Which compressor did you go with? Did you feel safe using it?

Thanks for referral, that is what we did on these, just worked backwards from the required metric dimensions and found someone on eBay selling a single seal.

@@ShockService I do that more often than not. Even with honda motorcycle and dirt bike stuff. The parts are readily available. But so overpriced I found that if I get the parts this way generically I save a ton of money and they 99%of the time have the same seal part numbers if something is different it's like an extra seal lip for pre wiping dust away and dosent effect the seal altho they have usually been able to get the oem style seal after I mention the difference and ask the why is that different questions. And I still end up getting them cheeper than the oem part. Thanks for the videos you make its always nice to be able to share and swap information that helps us all

That depends on the style of shock, the number of shocks, and the services needed but once we have you on the books we always ask for 2 weeks. Services rarely take that long but we want to account for any surprises and the need to have parts delivered if we don't have them in stock. Email us with a few photos of your shocks and we can get you a more specific ETA as well as a price quote.

Yes, non-foaming oil is used in all air shocks and bump stops: www.filthymotorsports.com/King_Shock_Oil_p/king-oil.htm

Great question, we got that drip cup from 303 Shock Services

Translation: "Can you please explain why you took the shock absorber apart? Putting small screws into the piston? What are they needed for? Blocking some channels?" Reply: When tuning a shock, the valving shims are adjusted or rearranged and in this case a set screw was used to block one of the bleed holes to reduce oil flow through the piston. (King shocks have 3 open bleed screws by default.)

Спасибо за ответ! К сожалению не знаю Вашего языка и чтобы уменьшить искажения пишу на русском. Насколько понимаю отверстия которые Вы "перекрываете" являются обходом (bypass) набора прокладок (shim set) и обеспечивают перетекание жидкости на очень низких скоростях (к примеру при кренах во время движении по плавной дуге поворота)

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Thank you for the feedback, more to come for sure!

Current pricing is listed on our website: www.shockservice.com

Glad you enjoyed the video. Bilstein parts are very hard to source, you may need to special order them through a vendor like Summit Racing.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Oh, also,,,are the shafts as well available in stainless steel and if so, what grade,,,, Lastly, are King shafts solid or hollow,,,,

We have all the tools needed listed here: www.crawlpedia.com/shock_rebuild_tools.htm

Vacuum bleeding is optional as the design allows for easy bleeding on most off-road shocks like these. For more complicated shocks or unique configurations we do use a vacuum bleeder.

Thanks for the reply. If I may one additional clarifying question. And that is because for example even a non Bypass 2.5 reservoir shock doesn’t contain any valve stack between the reservoir and the shock body.

Yes, most medium (10W) shock oils will work great.

Thank you very much!

Great question! The wiper cap threads onto the seal head so if there is no pressure in the reservoir the seal head might turn under the retaining ring. In other words, the pressure pushes the seal head against the retaining rings and creates enough friction that you can un-thread the wiper cap.

I will look into that, haven't seen those before and all we use is Knipex. Thanks!

I'm assuming this is an external shaft spacer. Use some heat and once the spacer expands, spray some WD-40 around the shaft, you should be able to work it loose. If not, remove the rod end and then tap it off that direction.

​@@ShockService thank you, heat really work.

Every application is different but, in general, we would want to see service between 50k and 100k miles of average use.

@@ShockService that’s great. I do mostly highway driving with a little off-road here and there. Thanks for the info.

No, just standard King shocks, not IBP. We will try and have a video on those sometime this year.

We cover that in our other video but basically you just need to support the rod end or top cap and then use a socket to hammer out or press out the bearing. If the rod ends are damaged, make sure to press the bearing out through the lest damaged size. You can also use heat if necessary.

@@ShockService OK cool, I wasn't really sure how much I could get away with and didn't want to ruin them. Good info for the next time I rebuild them, wayyyyy sooner than last time LOL. Thank You
