official ford raptor vendor

ford raptor factory

From Gen 1 to Gen 3 and the Raptor R, our shop is the destination for Ford Raptor shock rebuilds. As professionally trained shock specialists, we bring your Fox shocks back to like-new condition — restored to original standards so they perform the way Ford intended.

In every rebuild we install new shafts, new seals, fresh oil, a full nitrogen recharge, and replace any other parts as needed. We also install Schrader valves so you can keep your shocks properly charged — helping them perform better and last longer.

I can’t say enough good things about Shocks by Hammer and the experience I had working with Brian, the owner. After receiving an outrageous estimate elsewhere, I found Shocks by Hammer and reached out. From the very beginning, Brian was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the best solution instead of trying to sell me something I didn’t need. What really stood out was the level of customer service. Even as the owner, Brian personally texted me updates throughout the entire process, answered every question I had, and made sure everything was going smoothly from start to finish. That kind of communication and personal attention is almost impossible to find these days. I was in a bind and needed my rebuilt FOX shocks as quickly as possible. Brian understood the situation, got them rebuilt, packaged, and shipped incredibly fast, and everything arrived exactly as promised. The entire process was seamless. It’s refreshing to do business with a company that genuinely cares about its customers. Brian’s honesty, expertise, and commitment to making sure I was taken care of turned what could have been a stressful repair into a great experience. He provided some addition recommendations which I went with and couldn’t be happier. If you have FOX shocks that need rebuilding, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shocks by Hammer. You’ll save money, receive outstanding workmanship, and be treated with the kind of customer service that’s becoming increasingly rare. Brian and his team have absolutely earned a customer for life. Thank you for going above and beyond!

I purchased a used Gen 1 Raptor, and called Brian about shocks. He took time and explained what I needed. I installed the newish shocks and I have a brand new truck. I recommend them for all your shock needs.

Just installed by shocks today. I love these guys... SOLID ride plus he set shocks on mid perch. SWEEEEET level stance and awesome looking.... You need shocks, don't buy new Shocks by HAMMER is thw way to go. And price, whether I need to replace again at 75000 miles (recommend), I will probably be looking again after 45000 miles. You can't beat them, service, price and quality!

My 2014 Raptor drives like new again. Brian was great to work with. He swapped everything out in less than 2 hours. 100% recommend him for all your Raptor shock needs!

Brian is such a professional and he runs a great business. He communicated very well and is the very best in the business. My Gen 1 Raptor shocks showed up right around the time it had to go into the shop for some warranty work. Brian was very understanding , we kept eachother updated weekly until I was able to do the swap and send him my old ones. Such a great businessman and he will have my business indefinitely.

Recently purchased a set of rebuilt shocks for my Gen 1 Raptor. Shocks arrived a couple weeks after purchase, finish of rebuilds were equal to that of my cores if not a little better. They were very well packaged with typed out instructions on how to return my core shocks. Once I drove the truck after install it was a huge improvement on pavement in regards to handling and ride quality. Can't wait to get the truck offroad and really test. I will definitely be doing business with Hammer again for future rebuilds.

I contacted Brian about his service of rebuilt shocks. He explained everything about his service from start to finish. The transaction went very smoothly and exactly as Brian described. The shocks he sent work perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re in the market for shocks for your gen one Raptor, Brian is the guy to talk to.

Glad I went with Brian rather than TSW. Brian was very helpful , informative and patient with all my questions. He Sold me what was needed not all these overwhelming upgrades that TSW said I needed. He also gave me a great deal on a used set of Geiser 3" springs and a new pair of Deaver leaf springs. Shocks arrived fast and he had everything all done up for me. I just had to install them. It wasn't a one and done transaction with him. He always called or texted me back and took the time to explain the answer to my questions. Top notch experience !!! Would do business again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Brian ... Rich

Bought a used raptor with 87k on the dash. Never had a raptor before but knew the shocks probably needed to be rebuilt. Sent a contact us form to Shocks by Hammer asking about getting shocks sent to me via exchange program but needed them ready to go with springs on for a quick swap. I use the raptor almost daily for towing. Brian called me and had a good convo about what I was looking to do with the truck, type of springs I wanted, top hats, etc. He was patient educating me and helped me navigate the chaos from forum scares and all the people telling you that you have to spend 20k to get a raptor worthy of daily driving. All in all, Brian is solid. Shocks came quick, ready to go on and even got some money back on my deposit. Will definitely use again!
