Isuzu Arctic Truck lift - Fox Shock replacement

[MKM87]

Hi hi

The brief: My 2017 Isuzu D'max AT35 Arctic Truck is approaching 78k miles and we have noticed the OSF & NSR shocks are a bit weepy! Nothing to worry about at moment but need to start looking at solutions...

Option 1: Replace shocks - expensive and a lot of dough for 'as standard' conclusion.

Option 2: Rebuild - PITA finding anyone capable or willing to do this. Had some great responses from my last topic which led me to chat to a number of different chaps re rebuild however, no real progress due to very closed off info on the shocks from Arctic.

Option 3: Whole new lift. 37 inch tyres. Fresh truck and a light wallet but, something to show for it all aesthetically.

My heart is with option 3, as I am a child at heart, I do not have the time or confidence to carry out the work myself so looking to Pistonheads for advice, references etc.

Cheers all and hopefully that all makes sense.

I’m sure somebody was asking the same question a few months ago and for some replies. Or was that you?

Yeah that would have been me looking for rebuild contacts. Unfortunately none of these proved too successful due to Arctic Trucks being (quite rightly) a bit secretive with their shock specs.

Damper specifications should make no difference to rebuild. Clean, de-gas and dismantle. Replace as required and reassemble.
