Could you tell me some companies that will do shock revalves for under 150? Thanks

Do you want a revalve and a respring? or do you just want a revalve. I would recomend a revalve and respring in order to get the best performance. Doing a revalve without running the proper spring rate won't do much for you handling. You're going to have trouble finding a place that does it for that price. Try GT Thunder, MotoXperts, RocketRonRacing, C+D Racing, DeRisi Racing, these are all reputable places to have shocks redone. You'll have to shop around to find the best price. I would recomend GT Thunder though, they do great work!

I'd try Colby over @ C&D. He is very good at what he does and their customer service is second to none. He is willing to explain everything to you, no smoke and mirrors. I'd call a few places and see who you feel the most comfortable with.

i talked to jh the other day he revalves the fronts for 125. thats the cheapest i have seen. i think derisi was 175. not sure about gtt or c&d. also i think jh charges 40 dollars per spring if needed. best bet would be to call him or any of the other shops i sure they all do great work. good luck

The more info you can give them the better. Some places will swap out springs & not charge as much if your old one is good. Also ask how much it will be if it does not work for you when you get it back? Some will revalve for free. Let them know whats its doing & during what type of riding. Is it ride height, too stiff, rebound too fast? It helps most places get your shocks right on if they know what your current one is doing vs just saying I need it setup for a certain weight & I ride like a pro. lol Some people might have shocks that are fine & just need some adjustment. Maybe it just needs new oil & nitrogen? New oil & charge can make your shock act much different also.

Anyone riding with their a-arms? ... Any good? Im thinking of sending mine to gtt to get the full kit {long travel} Thanks.

If you guys want to know what you need done and understand what's going on with your setup why don't you talk to Nick from Jet? He's the most helpful person on here about suspension. After you talk to him you'll know exactly what you need, and he can also do it all. Just a suggestion...

I used jh racing with the triple fornt and dual rear works great
