Shock advice

[joetroop30]

So I managed to hit a boulder and destroyed my lower a arm on my right side. Also managed to bend the rod in my shock. The sled is a 2012 and the shocks and a arms were all stock, which I was happy with.

Should I-
1. Send shock in to Walker Evans to get rebuilt? I called them and they quoted me around $120 to service it-assuming they don't have to replace a whole bunch of stuff inside the shock.
2. Keep looking for a used one on E-Bay or on the swapmeet here. There's one on E-Bay now for $150 but it appears there's something wrong with it because spring is rubbing against the shock body.
3. Go ahead and buy a new OEM one for $285 or so.
4. Find some aftermarket ones that will fit that are used and reasonably affordable.

Get the shock pulled apart and just press the shock rod straight. Install new oil and nitrogen good to go and cheap. I've done a few, no issues.

I don't think I've got the tools or the know how to pull that thing apart. I'm leaning towards sending it to Walker Evans to get it fixed by them. Probably wouldn't hurt to have the other shock serviced as well.
