Default Looking for some free shocks... beer in return

Hello all, I'm about to send my shocks back to Bilstein to have them re-valved to a custom digressive stack... but it takes 8 weeks!

Anyone have any front and rear shocks they'd like to lend/give me? Copious amount of beer in return!

Thanks Meenrod

I have the original Monroes off my 95 that have been sitting in the back yard for 6 years (why??? I have no excuse)
but I don't think they're worth the shipping, yet alone the alignment.

i thought you were making clocks like Andreas 😀

I have slightly used HDs that I'm about to put up for sale. Less than 4K miles on them. I'll strike a deal with you to get it off my hands now. PM if interested.

I think I kept the original Monroes. I'm in Dallas. If you want them, I'll search for them and give them to you.

Wouldn't you have realign the suspension twice, once for the temporary shocks and again when you get yours back from being rebuilt? Might be more cost effective to rent something while you wait for your rebuild...

An alignment is $200 to $350. A rental car for 8 weeks....? Way more.

That would be fantastic- yes please. We have an office in downtown Dallas if I can ship them there I can get them sent to me in San Antonio. I can send you some beer from the Dallas office too!

Thanks.
