Can anyone recommend someone who rebuilds lever action shocks and doesn't charge a king's ransom to do it. Pacific Northwest area preferred.

Jeff at Bow Tie Bits does. I was quoted $105.00 ea for my 49 3600. Don't know if that's high or not.

Could you rebuild them yourself? It doesn't seem much more difficult than rebuilding a wheel or master cylinder. I need mine done also.

I have three functioning lever action shocks that I'd be happy to send to anyone who will pay the shipping. I'll throw in the fourth one for free. grin

These are off a '48 1/2 ton (3100), OEM, and were working when I removed them.

Are these just regular shocks, or the stock shocks? I didnt know they could be rebuilt.

I used Apple Hydralics. They took about a week. I would use them again.
