    The tires on my truck are about done. Getting ready to do a lift in conjunction with new rims and tires (285/70/17). Decided to go with OME 887's, nitro standards for a softer ride than sport and Dakar leaf pack. I have a 2012 DCLB with a leer topper and reinforced tailgate. Looking to get 2.75-3" of lift leveled out on the truck. Also got in on the all pro u a deal with Tracy already.

    All that being said...who is the best shop to order from? Wheelers? Headstrong?
    Thanks for the help.

    The price for the exact same kit from Headstrong and Wheelers ends up being the same.....but it sounds like Headstrong has better customer service. Do they do military discount by chance?

    I believe I read they have a military discount. Just give Marie a call I promise you you'll be sold on customer service. ;)

    Edit, looked everywhere couldn't find it? Call and ask.

    Too few to list.
    I've ordered from both before. Both good prices and customer service. Headstrong is local to me and got to meet Marie and fam. All great.

    Customer service is where its at. I tried to order some product from another vendor that will remain nameless. Couldn't even get a quote due to the hoops that I needed to go thru to find out the discount for TW members. Here is a clue. It shouldn't be a secret. Provide service with the best possible price and be done with it.

    Ended up going with Headstrong. Marie is spot on with customer service. No military discount though but price was still pretty good. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

    Glad you didn't give said vendor business. As I recall, I made comments on that thread and said that's a piss poor way to do business.

    Fuck that guy.

    I almost did...but Marie's knowledge on my potential setup won me over. And there price quotes were pretty close to each other......BUT headstrong has a deal on putting struts together for half off.

    Thank you so much!
    We do not have a standing discount because we try to offer everyone the best price possible! We have found that our competitors will mark their prices up in order to offer discounts like a 5% off for TW members or military personnel. With that being said if you find the out-the-door price for the same exact items lower somewhere else please let me know and I will see what else I can do! I am always here to help in any way I can.
