    lol... the front bracket is way off. I can't even get the slider against the side or the bottom of the frame to get the holes lined up. The 14mm bolt was my next step after I had the slider in place toughing the frame. But no can do.

    It’s at that fucked up angle? Also it might square up once you get it closer to being in place, possibly. I would bend it before sending it back. I have installed a couple sets of Cali raised sliders. Freight charges aren’t fun.

    Agreed. Freight charges suck.
    Had he ordered a set of sliders and said specifically to make them not fit his truck, that would be one thing.
    If you order something, you expect it to fit, and if it doesn't fit due to their mistake, they should be responsible for sending him a new working set, and if they want the old ones back, they can pay for it.
    He's already paid once. Not responsible for their mistakes.

    Gooood luck with that one. I bet all the freight charges would cost the same as the sliders. If not more.

    I think next time I order something I’m going to ask to have it not fit my truck. I didn’t see that drop down option although.

    it's around 200-250 for freight
    about 1/4 the price of the sliders (roughly)

    I can't square it up. It is as close as it's gonna get. that mounting tab is holding me off. Down and out from the frame. Wonder how I can bend the mounting tab down. Both sides are the same (driver side too).

    So you think it's up to the customer to ensure that the manufacturer makes his items correctly?

    Maybe a vise? Vise grips? Lots of anger, but that shit never helps. I was wondering if if was laid in place if that tab would “suck up, and bend in place”

    Honestly, there's no luck required.
    If they choose not to work with him and deliver what was ordered, he can just dispute the purchase with the credit card company.
    They did not deliver him what he ordered. They delivered him something else.
    This is a no brainer.
    The company either fixes the mistake at their cost, or they loose out on the entire order, and get bad reviews on social media.
    It's not up to the customer to ensure that the order was made correctly, and fits.
    That job belongs to the people making the item.

    I understand the morals involved with it all. As well as the fear of repercussions of social media. But I think they are going to do as much as possible to avoid paying the freight charges. Therefore I say good luck. Also I would like to know the outcome. Sorry I’m going into airplane mode for a little here.

    I'll find out Monday. I sent them a message, so hopefully they will contact me during their business hours tomorrow. $1,282.49

    Nah.. they delivered him something that was made incorrectly.
    they are responsible for sending him the correct parts ordered, and if they want the old ones back, they can send him a prepaid or just tell him to keep them if they feel the price of shipping them back is too much.

    No worries. They may try to get you to pay to send them back, just say no thank you. I ordered something that fits my truck, and you sent these that don't.
    Hopefully you paid with a credit card so you can dispute the order if they try to make you pay for their mistake.

    imagine a world in which the consumer was responsible for ensuring everything they bought was made correctly. lol
