Hi, I did a search on this but since it includes the springs, I came up short, nothing on Camburg's site either...
I am looking to either rebuild or replace my front 2.5” Camburg coil over shocks, they have close to 90K on them, 60K with a 1,000 pounds of camper and gear ( ATC Bobcat ) on the back permanently. They are not leaking at all or behaving odd, but the springs have lost a bit of resistance as the front has dropped a bit, getting some tire rub. I don't have very much pre-load dialed in, maybe an 1.25 inch at most. I have considered cranking them up but with the milage the way they it is and the fact that the camper is staying on, I figure why not rebuild them now before something happens at a bad time.
I live in Colorado in a small ski town, so I can not really do this my self as I simply have no where to do it so I am probably going to have an off road shop do it. I am wondering what the cost of the rebuild kits are and what the possible cost of the new springs might be and if I should up the capacity of the springs to match a permanent 1,000 pound weight gain. This article says the springs average $100 a pop, so that is a start:

Also, is there a way to ball-park the weight on each front corner without driving to a Cat Scale? 150 miles each way in my case.
