    Any real advantage of the Fox rear shocks over something like the 5100s or Eibachs? There's a big price difference.

    Fox shocks are re-buildable so you can use them the life of the truck and just re-build every 50,000 miles or so. Also, some (not all) of the fox options have beefier components with adjustable valving.

    Eibach says they have a million mile warranty, although I'm guessing they will have a lifespan of about 100,000 miles or so. Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps they will replace if you blow a shock. I haven't needed to test this yet because mine have been holding up great so far with 65,000 miles on them.

    Bilstein 5100's are similar to the Eibachs. Lifespan of probably 100,000 miles (or less if you beat on them).

    I'm referring to the TRD Pro Fox shocks. Are those rebuildable?
