    ive done the 50 series shocks, they were pretty straight forward. I think monotubes are actually easier because you dont have to get the piston back down in the 2nd tube. Long as you can run schraeder valves it would be easy. Not sure how/what they use to gas them without the valve on top. You do not want to be revalving your own and trying to run them without dynoing it after a change. I built what was a 4-12 on the chart and it was 2 valvings off on the rebound 4-10 so without dynoing i would of never known. I have a afco dealer local that let helped me out even though he doesnt rebuild qa1 stuff

      We ran them a couple years. I had a pro build them, didn't run them straight out of the box. If you don't have a dyno, you are kidding yourself on rebuilds.

              that's what I do one shop does it for free another charges a small fee but it's worth it to me. I'll get a dyno one day but for now got do what it takes.
