Just a thought here.. why pay big bucks for Fox/Boss/Icon for them to last less than my OEM struts...

I was talking about what the OP said about having to rebuild @ 50K "Read Please"

improved performance up to 50K miles and then replace... no thanks, I'm pretty sure no body spend $900 on a set of Fox coil overs and then ****cans them after 50K miles...

Aggressive ?? lol I never said I did not like them... they are awesome ...what I was saying is I doubt most people that buy them do not rebuild them @ 50K miles and why should you have to when OEM struts last over 100K miles.

2015 Red SCab 5.0
Just want to add my $.02 here.
For my 2011 SCab, I installed Bilstien 5100's on all 4 at 60,000 miles. The OEM's were ok, but I knew they would give out soon before a long trip. The 5100's added enough lift and ride improvement over the OEM's, and I thought I would rebuild them when worn. The 5100's were still doing great with 110,000 miles on them! I asked about rebuild, and got the same 'huh?' answer many of you did. I solved the problem and got a 2015, since it also needed other major replacement stuff. The 2011 / 5.0 was great to 182K...still cookie'.
