Is the Elka spring and valving for your weight and riding application?
What is the cost of a rebuild, fresh oil and nitrogen? (~$100 on the Sasquatch)
Can it be re-valved free?
All these are taken care of with a Sasquatch DL1000 Shock job. I love mine. ~$650 ($450 Sasquatch, $100 DLK shock, $100 all the shipping and tax) all told and that is enough for me.

Answers are:
1) YES weight and riding style specific;
2) depends who u go to - but cost the same as any shock services - service parts and time are same for most shocks;
3) if job is done correct the first time why do u need free re valve?

yes ELKA shock is just under $1,000 from Blair @ SV RACING - so about $350-$400 more than Sasquatch -but u get a fully adjustable shock not just preload and rebound but hi & lo compression as well as ride height. To me it's better value for money as i can easily adjust for change in riding style, my ever changing weight and riding payload. Of course YMMV
