Is this acceptable? Received new leaf springs from Summit Racing like this.

    Ordered NEW leaf springs from Summit Racing. Shipped to my house without anything except a shipping tag on the springs themselves. They came all banged up with paint chips everywhere. I'm planning on going to the local Summit Racing and returning for a full refund. Is this normal? Am I being picky?

    I would've opted for pick up in store but they were sold out at my local SR.
    Also, this is some real sloppy paint job (skyjacker softride leafs).

    Okay, good to know. I wouldn't know I don't work at an auto parts store. Will still probably paint it over.

    I've seen better, but its aftermarket through middleman suppliers. I'd say its fine and I would put those in my truck with little worry.
