i've been lookin around the last couple days and don't see the 95619 available anywhere, BDS doesn't list it on their site anymore, anyone happen to know if this is out of production?
i can only find the 55619 at one place.

Confirmed. I just emailed them. Let's see what's up. Possible web site bug, since it's been revamped.

These are no longer available. We have discontinued our whole 9500 line and it is being replaced by our new Fox Racing 2.0 line. http://bds-suspension.com/product-display?sr=fox We should have the Trailblazer cylinder up very soon. Switching an entire shock line over is not an easy task and some of our smaller volume movers had to be put down the list. I will post up when they become available.

Understood. As long as we're not being "put down" like an old, but faithful, dog. :cheers: :flex dirty:

would it be a safe assumption that the Tahoe shocks would be similar but would need the spacers to make them fit?

I would likely use the 5500 anyway because of the cost but just curious for other folks that might need shocks now.

I would imagine the replacements are going to be better. Rarely do these kinds of companies discontinue something for an inferior replacement.

if a few weeks is two or so i'll pick em up. It's starting to get chilly up here and i'm trying to get this all put together before it gets too frigid. I've been eyeing the rough country/skyjacker offerings though.

They are indeed a nicer shock. We had a need for a new shock line and the opportunity to join forces with Fox came up. It was a win-win. The other bonus is retail on these new shocks are about $10-15 less then the 9500s.

I have these on my to-do list for today to get out to our warehouse production to be built. They will fall in line with the current build orders but should be available for sale by next week sometime. I will post up when available.

I made a thread here http://forums.offroadtb.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2431


I have another quick update to make since I put the spacers in. I'll probably do it tomorrow. I still like em.
