Expanding our line of shields! We started with our Jbar Shield which has been receiving a TON of good feedback and now we came out with our new

*Shock Heim Shield*

This is used to protect the lower shock hiem on birdcages with a straight shock mount that faces towards the front of the car. These protect your bearing from being packed with mud and debris, and also protect the rod end as a whole!

Made to fit over a 3/4” hex

$10

Jbar Shield $15

I updated our website, still have more to add but now you can order shocks, and if you are on a budget but need a new unit there is a pay in 4 option.

As always reach out with any questions!

💥💥INVOICES🔥🔥

Just a quick note here regarding invoices. We expect 100% payment at time of service. We are not your bank and unless we have an agreement nobody is on terms longer than due on receipt with us.

It is very frustrating for me to get your parts made/shocks rebuilt/ etc especially when you need them asap, and then I have to chase people down to get paid. Or answer the phone and questions non stop which is fine but once it’s time to pay the bill we get left on opened.

Starting Monday whatever invoices are still open and arnt paid WILL be receiving a 5% late fee. If you’ve made arrangements already to pay or pay in person you are ok.

I hate to be negative but I am very busy now and I don’t appreciate when I work hard to get your stuff done and then it’s a fight to get paid. Pretty soon I will be forced to fire customers.

Thank you to all of you that do pay on time, and are returning loyal clients. I appreciate you more than you know. Good luck to all this weekend!

Shop update after a long weekend. I’ve still been working 7 days a week to get orders done and out the door. So I appreciate everybody’s patience. After getting home at 1 am from the races I worked till 2:30-3am and the same Monday night as well.

We’ve been plenty busy between new part designs, bump stops, chassis brackets and of course shock work.

We’ve been able to turn around shocks same week for the next weekend of competition providing parts arnt on back order.

One thing that I noticed is the drivers that are running our logo on their cars/social media thank you very much. Glad to be apart of your program! Also noticed a few cars that we gave sponsorship deals/discounts to that have zero notice of our logo on the car or social media so that’s been disappointing after the hard work we put in.

On the bright side we had half the field of sundays GenX feature on our Shocks and our shock package is making a debut the next weekend of the Tri State Swing. Thanks to all those that support us, and recognize all that we do for you.

I came up with these work sheet(s) for my shock customers to fill out at the track, to help you keep your own notes, and also this will help me when working on your Valving package.

I will have this available for download on my website hopefully tonight. Print as many copies as you need. Simply send me a copy along with your shocks we are working on so I can build your package to fit your specific needs.

Above anything else my one and only goal is customer service and satisfaction. I am always open for texts,messages,emails anytime, even on race night to help my clients.

Thank you for everyone that trusts in me! If you have any suggestions on things we can add to this form for you please let me know!

We had a nice Double Adjustable open late model shock come in with a compression adjuster not working, and the customer also wanted a Valving change.

We were able to repair the compression adjuster back to working order and set the client up with Valving to fit their specific needs. Ready to go again for Tri State Late Model Action!

This serves as a good reminder to check each week where your clickers are and ensure they are working their full range!

We service Afco, Penske, Integra, and Fox Dirt racing shocks along with any ATV, and Snowmobile Shocks!

Along with new unit sales in Afco and Penske!

Also spy our new logo for our shock division!

I decided to come up with some Standard Packages for ordering Bump Stops making it easier.

If you know what you are looking for this is a great option. Single units can still be ordered for those that prefer to do that. If you are a newer racer and not sure what you need we can build a package for you so you can take the guess work out.

***Chassis Builders looking for a bump stop package customized to their chassis we can help and offer quantity discounts!***

All Custom Bump Stop Packages need to be either : Texted, FB Message, or Emailed as they are custom order items.
