    I ordered through 4wp on April 23 and am still waiting (pushing 5 weeks). When I ordered they said they would ship next day. I went from thinking I would have them in 3 days, then King told 4wp another 2 weeks, then pushed it again "another 2 or 3 weeks". The wait would be bad enough if I had a set date, it's the pushing back that really gets to me. The longer it takes the more I think I should just keep my stock pro suspension and go 265s vs current plan Kings with 285s.

    I waited nearly three months to get mine. The fronts were the first to arrive, but took another month to get the piggybacks.

    Well worth the wait. I went with 285/75/17’s.

    My fronts arrived, still waiting on my rear shocks and Dakar leaf pack. They were heavier and bigger than I expected, but super sexy nonetheless.

    It only took about four or five weeks to get the bumper, so not bad. The rear piggy’s is another story. It’s a sweeet looking bumper.

    Do you have any pics of the area where the bracket is supposed to go and how your bumper sits now? Just curious before I make a decision on which bumper to get. Thanks!

    I’ve actually just seen a pic where someone still used the reservoir bracket from Kings along with the CBI bracket but just drilled a hole on the King’s bracket. I might do that if I get the CBI bumper. Thanks again for the help!

    I ordered from DSM and as soon as I placed an order, Neil emailed me to inform me of the delay. I ordered the fronts separate from the rear shocks and leaf pack. My fronts shipped in about a week and a half to two weeks and arrived a couple days later. I'm still waiting on the rear shocks and leaf pack to ship. Neil's email is neil@downsouthmotorsports.com. He was very responsive to all of my emails. Shoot him a message and see if he too can help you.
