Default Re building a DS rear shock?

Well after hearing KMS, and HPR seem to busy to even answer their phones or return e-mails. Where's a good place to send a rear shock to be rebuilt??

Thanks Bud

I guess, that was the way he sent it to me. I am probably hefty enough where a dual rate wouldn't do anything.

oh, you just had to say something, I wouldn't have even noticed. It does seem the rear ride height is pretty tall now, I am sure the smaller spring would help with that. Might have to ask Todd about it.

On a different note, will you guys run shock covers on your aftermarket shocks? Is it suggested or not?

depends where you ride, covers are nice if you ride in sand, keeps the chrome shafts fom getting pitted, I can see the use for them if you ride in MUD.
I have heard some complain that they hold dust like emery and wear out seals, but the way I look at it if im getting a shock service every few years they replace the seals anyway...or just be in the lead that way your shocks dont get sprayed with mud or sand
