Thank you for the amazing review and for trusting Shock Surplus with multiple builds!
We're especially glad to hear that Hector went above and beyond to help you. It sounds like you've put together some incredible setups, and we're thrilled to hear the Bilstein adjustable coilovers and ICON upper control arms transformed the ride on your 2025 Expedition Tremor. Your Ranger builds sound awesome as well!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the shipping. Many manufacturers, including ICON, ship components separately from different warehouses, so larger kits often arrive in multiple shipments. We understand that can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience while everything makes its way to you.
Thank you again for your continued support. We hope you enjoy all three trucks, and we look forward to helping with your next build!

Ordered 4 shocks got 2
ordered a set of 4 shocks, front and rear, received rear shocks and notice that order was complete without any word where or if I would be getting the front pair.

Shock Surplus did me a solid!
After a supply chain delay on my previous order Shock Surplus fixed me up with an upgraded suspension package and a nice discount, off the already great price, for the inconvenience. I greatly appreciate the communication and help getting the suspension packaged I needed. I look forward to getting it installed. Thanks again! And a special thanks to Joseph for helping me through the process. 🤙

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the supply chain delay. While those delays are never ideal, we're glad we were able to find a solution with an upgraded suspension package and a discount that met your needs.
A special thank you for recognizing Joseph. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Providing great communication and helping customers find the right suspension setup is exactly what we strive for.
Thank you again for choosing Shock Surplus. We hope you love the new suspension once it's installed, and we look forward to helping you with your next upgrade!

Order front and rear shocks for my 2012…
Order front and rear shocks for my 2012 fj cruiser finally got the fronts and had to call to ask whe are the rears , they sent one when I called said in would be late Aug before in stock , when I ordered the set website said they we in stock ,sale of items that are claimed in stock is bad business , it’s hard to use a vehicle with 3 shocks
Reply from Shock Surplus2026-07-23
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for your experience.
We understand how frustrating it is to receive only part of your order, especially when you were expecting a complete set of shocks for your FJ Cruiser. We also understand your disappointment after the website showed the items as in stock, only to learn that one of the rear shocks had gone onto a manufacturer backorder.
Unfortunately, manufacturer inventory can change very quickly, and while we work hard to keep our inventory as accurate as possible, there are times when an item becomes unavailable before an order is processed. We also recognize that we should have communicated the backorder sooner instead of you having to contact us for an update.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Product was as described. Fairly priced and delivered quickly. I would do business with this company again.

You won’t respond to inquiries and provide tracking information after a full week and two days after the order is placed. Let’s see if you respond to this. David Knott dknott5 @yahoo.com.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for your frustration.
We understand how concerning it is when you're waiting for an update on your order and don't receive the communication you're expecting.
After reviewing your order, we do show that our agents were actively responding to your multiple inquiries while working to obtain updated shipping information.
We recently went through some major system changes that unfortunately impacted our response times and communication. While this is not an excuse, we understand the frustration it caused and appreciate your patience while we worked to get your order on its way. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our customer experience.

We understand how frustrating it is to place an order expecting it to ship promptly, only to learn that an item is on backorder. We also recognize that the communication you received did not meet your expectations.
Unfortunately, manufacturer inventory can change quickly, and backorders sometimes occur after an order is placed. While that was the cause of the delay, we should have done a better job communicating the status of your order and keeping you informed throughout the process.
We appreciate your patience and are sorry we fell short of the level of service you expected.

Great parts, Great prices!
Ordering truck parts from your company is an easy and fast process! I have not had them installed yet. They'll be installed in a few days with the new strut mounts I was waiting on. I am more than certain that these will improve the front suspension as the springs have never been replaced in 20 years. Please continue to provide great parts at reasonable pricing! You are a needed entity!
Reply from Shock Surplus2026-07-23
Thank you for the wonderful review!
We're glad to hear the ordering process was quick and easy and that you found the parts you needed at a great price. It sounds like your truck is in for a well-deserved suspension refresh after 20 years, and we're confident you'll notice a big improvement once everything is installed.
Thank you for your kind words and support.

Got the shocks in 2 Seperate packages a few days apart ,I haul boats & the shocks have been impressive so far with a nice smooth ride ! as I drive about 10,000 miles per month ! I even recommended Bilstein to my friend who just ordered the 4600 yesterday !
Reply from Shock Surplus2026-07-23
Thank you for the fantastic review!
We're thrilled to hear your Bilstein shocks are delivering a smooth ride, especially with the amount of driving you do hauling boats. It's great to know they're already making a difference.
We appreciate your patience with the order arriving in two separate shipments. Many of our products ship from different warehouses or manufacturers, which can result in separate deliveries.
Great on helping me decide on which shocks would be right for me. I did purchase front shocks that need to be assembled so its understandable there is a lead time on that. After receiving back shocks it looked like the entire order was marked "delivered" so I called to be sure. The sales guy I talked to sounded like he really didn't want to be talking to me and when I mentioned checking on the rest of the order he said "well there are 200 orders in front of you". Mind you I was not complaining and made that clear. Less then 24 hours later I get an email stating some parts are on backorder and there is no time frame on getting those parts from the manufacturer. The email stated I can change the front shocks if I want or keep what I have ordered. Considering these are what they recommended I stayed with these. Emailed just over a week later for an update if they heard anything and still waiting on a reply a week after that email. Was looking forward to the experience as the buying and choosing part was super easy with them. Everything after so far has been terrible. Only reason they are getting 3 stars is everything before the order.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, and we sincerely apologize that your experience after placing your order did not meet your expectations.
We're glad to hear our team was able to help you choose the right shocks and that the ordering process was easy. We also appreciate your understanding that your front shocks required custom assembly, which carries a longer lead time.
That said, we understand how frustrating it was to see your order marked as delivered when only part of it had arrived, followed by learning that components had gone onto manufacturer backorder. We also apologize that your follow-up communication did not receive the timely response you deserved.
Unfortunately, manufacturer backorders are outside of our control, but we recognize that better communication throughout the process would have made for a much better experience. We appreciate your patience and your decision to stay with the recommended setup, and we're sorry we fell short after what started as a positive experience.

Took three weeks to process order
Took three weeks to process order. They eventually rush shipped it but it was close to a month to get my order. Hopefully this isn’t normal but I would likely look elsewhere in the future.

Absolutely sucks
Absolutely sucks. Took three weeks to get the first two shocks of the four I ordered. Two weeks later I get one shock. Called the company on Tuesday the guy said he would ship the that day and I would get a tracking number in a few hours NOTHING. Called back today Friday. Still was not shipped and they said we will ship it today and I would get a tracking number as of now still nothing 8 hrs later. Just a bunch of promises. If I ran my business like yall I would be out of business. What happened to customer service
Reply from Shock Surplus2026-07-23
We understand how frustrating it has been to receive your order over multiple shipments and to repeatedly be told the remaining shock would ship without receiving the promised tracking information. We recognize how disappointing that is, especially after waiting several weeks.
Many of our products ship from different warehouses or directly from the manufacturer, which can sometimes result in split shipments and unexpected delays. While that explains why your order arrived separately, it does not excuse the lack of clear communication or the missed expectations regarding shipping updates.

Shipping and Customer Service
This review is just based on Shipping and Customer Service.
I will review the product later and am hopeful they are as good as previous reviews say.
However, Shock Surplus “lost” my order for a week. Never received shipping so I called. I worked with Daisy. Now I can understand a warehouse missing something. And it sounded real nice, “Oh I’m so sorry, let me find that and overnight it to you for your inconvenience”.
Well that didn’t happen either. It has now been 2 weeks since I ordered the product. I ordered it that far in advance so I would have them and be ready before the day I planned to work on the truck. Well now Fed Ex says they won’t be here til tomorrow “sometime” and I had to make multiple phone calls just to talk to them to possibly change the delivery address to the shop so I wouldn’t have to make multiple trips. Well no go on that one too. Also my biggest complaint is that after every call I would hear, “I will call you right back” or “check your email, and I’ll get right back to you” for roughly 3 days. Nothing ever got resolved and I did not ever receive a call back from them. Needless to say very disappointed in shipping and customer service. Hopefully the product makes up for the inconvenience. Bottom line where the order says ships and arrived in 3-5 days, don’t hold your breath.
