Ladies and Gents,

I bought my truck with a 3" lift already installed, not sure what kit it is though. My shocks need to be replaced. I was wondering if anybody knows what kind these are? And if not, what would be a good replacement? 19 inches long extended, 13 inches long compressed. My truck: 2000 Silverado 1500, 5.3L, Z71 4x4, and LT315/75R16 All Terrain Tires. Thanks for any advice or pointers you can give me.

I was able to find these shocks here http://offroadwarehouse.com/i-10166746- ... shock.html

Those Fox's are awesome shocks. I think the top answer will be Bilstein 5100s around here though and I know there are several sites online running Black Friday sales you could take advantage of.

By the way... love your truck! Looks good with those meats on there.

Just have your fox shocks rebuilt. They are expensive shocks. Don't just throw them away.

Yea there must be a way to repair such amazing shocks

Check this out: http://www.ridefox.com/service.php?m=truck $75 each to have your shocks rebuilt. Much cheaper than buying new ones.

Question is why do you think they are bad? I would love to see those angles with a 3 inch lift.

Per the fox guide they should be rebuilt every 50k

I'd definitely get them rebuilt instead of replacing them. Those are pretty pricey shocks.

Thanks for all of the replies! I didn't even know it was possible to rebuild shocks. I don't think I will be able to rebuild these ones though. The travel arm on the other shock is snapped clean off right at the end. It didn't bend or anything, just a clean break. I also broke off the mounting bracket for the shock that is pictured. I was driving pretty crazy on a road with VW bug sized potholes. I should have also posted a picture of the snapped off shock. I am currently deployed, and just trying to figure what the part is so I can get it ordered and have it waiting for me when I come home.

Thanks for the that. She rides pretty well. The roads in Guam are paved with crushed corral, and it gets pretty slick every time there is rain (almost every day). But I only slip or slide if I try to take a corner too fast. Other than that, she grips the road pretty well. And the trails down in the mountains are not a problem. I highly recommend these tires.
