I'm piecing together a lift for my land cruiser and have a lead on some cheap used Fox 2.0 IFP shocks. The catch: one is blown. Before I install them I plan to rebuild the set. Fox can do this for $75 each, but I also found you can buy rebuild kits for $10 each which got me thinking about a DIY rebuild.
I have reebuilt motorcycle forks before, and the process for the shocks seems similar, but with the additional step of pressurizing the shock with nitrogen. The Fox shocks use a self sealing rubber valve and are pressurized using a needle like a basketball. There are different needle legnths for different shock models, and I think I will need both the short and long version.
Has anybody rebuilt this type of shock before? Is it as easy as replacing seals, filling with oil and stabbing it with a needle?
Thank you
