It will not just be valving you need. You will absolutey need new springs. It could end up costing you almost as much as a new set of shocks.

We get it in our shop all the time. Someone gets a great deal on a set of shocks of Ebay. After revalve and springs they are within a few hundred dollars of a new set.

yea i dint think about that good point on the springs sorry my mistake but it can be done. depends on how much you can get them for also. just price around to see if it will even be worth it to revale and respring them

I was looking at a set of used front tcs shocks. They were a great deal but then I realized that the fact that they arent setup for me right and I would have to get them revalved and resprung would cost more than the price of them. Your better off buying new because everything is already setup and you know its not damaged or needs repairs.

To revalve and fully respring a set of Elka LT front shocks we charge $340 for the pair . Price includes all new springs, multi stage valving, shock service, and seals.

The rear shock would run $200 for new valving,main spring,service and seals.
