    So... I'm never buying from 4 Wheel Parts ever again ever. ever.
    Story:
    after selling me ball joint UCA's instead of Uniballs, they thankfully accepted a return and i'm buying them at cost- only about 480$ ;) (dont let em charge you 700 hint hint)
    They then gave me the runaround as to where the rest of my lift is- rear 2.5" kings, Deaver leaf pack and Camburg uniball UCA's
    three weeks straight they said it'd all be ready to pick up "uhh middle of next week, probably tuesday"

    four weeks in, I've resorted to calling daily demanding to know exactly when my parts will be in which bothered them enough to finally get a call from the manager Rudy who said my leafs and shocks will be in tomorrow morning, but The UCA's are on a 3 week back order

    Tl;Dr-
    Do I pick up just the rear parts and install it this weekend? or just keep waiting waiting waiting....?

    I would pick up anything that comes in, and when I had it all, then install. It would suck to not go get something that came in, and wait for the rest, only to find out the stuff that was already in went missing. Just my 2 cents anyway.

    I was thinking the same... I'm pretty sure they could manage to misplace their firstborn. It'll kill me to have it all sitting in my garage though!


    And I'd love to say up yours and go get em elsewhere, but it gets very complicated....
    when I returned the wrong uca's they first gave me & flipped a bitch at the parts desk over the 300 more they wanted to charge me for uniballs, I got em to take my return credit and owe 80 bucks for the difference to uniballs

    So I don't even know if it'd be possible to get my money back, let alone get the uca's elsewhere for 480$
    ??? Agh.

    Sweet Jesus.
    Got my leafs & shocks & found it odd there were no bushings or u bolts with em... The guy said he was pretty sure I wouldn't need anything else
    Called Deaver next am and wouldn't you know I had to drop another hundred on what I was missing.
    Got my uca's and finished up the front end today- went surprisingly well

    Halfway into the rear,
    Found Deaver gave me ONE wrong bushing so I could only put one side on. Mounted the shocks and hooray.
    They're 3" too short at full droop.

    Whoever picks up that 4wheel parts customer service line tomorrow is gonna be very sad they showed up to work.

    End rant.

    That's why I don't really order anything from 4wp or let them install anything. I just go in to see what little accessories I can buy.
