if its a revo tighten the spring on the shock and it should return faster so it doesnt sag.

If your shocks are sagging, all you do is add springs spacers and it will raise the rear end. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Wut u sood do is figure out wear u r going to by i and look at ta cost of both...[sm=tongue_smile.gif]

To directly answer your question, rebuilding is cheaper than replacing.

Now to agree with the other guys, rebuilding will not eliminate sag. When you rebuild, all you do is replace the components that provide dampening and seal the oil in. Dampening has nothing to do with sag, unless you have a dampener wedged in there preventing rebound.

To eliminate the sag, add preload spacers or change to a stiffer spring.
