Boris, most of your Fox and King are also rebuildable/revalvable, you just need someone who knows a bit about shock tuning to help you work out what changes to make. Teraflex would be rebuildable/revalvable, however by the look of things Teraflex might not give up spares as they only advertise in house repairs. Maybe ask Victor from SBR whether he's authorised to revalve the Falcons, might save you buying new shocks.

Hi Boris. The shocks are great - because they're adjustable I can set them up firmish for on-road and softer for the rough stuff. I tend to run mine on the softest setting all the time, so perhaps I could go slightly lower damping, but I love them the way they are and wouldn't risk getting them changed now.
Re the Fox shocks being rebuildable - yep, but when I enquired about the cost it came up to well over $600 plus shipping so I just opted to spend more and get these. The Fox units were non-adjustable and I felt too soft, so I was going to get a re-valve as well - so even more money.

Mine has 2” JKU springs and shocks from repco. 33x12.5 tyres on 17x9 -15 rims
Car is pretty heavy with bar, winch, auxiliary fuel tank etc however the ride is fairly good. When loaded and towing my teardrop it is perfect.

Bugger Boris, I would say Teraflex are keeping all their valving a secret. If you do go down the route of Superior shock, call them up and ask for Angus, he's the man to talk to. Otherwise I'll be selling mine in the new year.

Do you mind me asking why selling them?

Boris selling because I am racing the Jeep next year, stepping up to a full Coilover setup. Been very happy with them, but they won’t keep up with the demands of off-road racing. They haven’t given me any issues the whole time I’ve owned them (around 2 years). I’ll be rebuilding them before I sell them (sometime early next year).
