I'm looking at buying a sand car and there are a few concerns I have that I will need to fix if I were to buy it. Biggest question...what's the going rate on rebuilding all 4 King bypass shocks and all 4 coil overs? This car has been sitting for a bit and these shocks need to be gone though. Just wondering roughly what I'll need to spend

If you're not revalving or doing any color change, you should be a $200-300 per shock.
 
I rebuilt mine myself and found it to be pretty easy. All in, It was probably about 800 bucks with the purchase of a nitrogen tank and fill regulator, seals and fluid. Gaining the knowledge to be able to do it made it worth while, especially if I want to make valving changes in the future.

I have done fox 2.0s with ease. Brother had fox 3.0 bypass that needed rebuilds I figured I’d try. Honestly wasn’t much harder to do. Just more for seals and holds more oil. But was cool peak inside see how things work.
 
Back in December, I paid around $110 for each shock for a thorough inspection, new seals, oil and nitrogen through my local shock guy. Price could go up if you have unusable parts or parts that need to be machined (pitted shafts for example). (4) 2.5 king coilovers.
 
It's not super difficult, I do alot of shocks, rebuild and re valve. If you are halfway mechanically inclined somebody could show you the first time, and then you could do it the next time on your own
