Lift installed!.... But wait

oh jebus its a derper spring too.

installed wrong and to add its a deaver spring....

 

Its a 16 year old budget man. Can't afford Dakars

 

Hey at least you can tell your Dad that you were right, should have done it yourself.

 

just so you know about the quality of deaver check this out

talk to socaltaco65 and inquire about deaver quality and customer service

 

Uhh... If you want something done right do it yourself, or at least look into the shop to make sure they know what they are doing are have a good rep. This made me laugh so hard

 

I don't know much of anything about lifts and suspension, but really?! Like others said I'd be afraid to drive it wondering what else is wrong.

 

I know right! haha

Yeah. I thank my stubborn father for this one.. This shop is "the best in town" RIIIGGHHHTTTTT

 

$330 seems a little steep, esp for the shit work they did to your leafs. I had my 5100s set to 2.5" and installed, as well as my wheelers 3 leaf AAL packs installed (correctly) for $160 at the shop i go to....

 

dude pm 4WD or go to his thread. you can get a spring out of an older 1 ton gmc or chevy and add that and it will be damn good and damn cheap. its what i have and a lot of ppl run his springs. heres a link to his thread about it. send him a pm. he can give ya info on doing it yourself. its super cheap man.

pm him and he will help ya out man.

 

that's just terrible.

 

You didn't happen to take this to Steve's did you?? Or Truckin up?

 

No, I was on my way to Truckin' Up, then I found out our alignment guy does lifts. It's Terry's Tire Service (Terry Benefield) in Montrose. But one of his workers obviously put the lift on. Terry only does alignment

 

WOW..................i seriously had to doubt that a pro shop could actually do that......so I seriously entertained the idea(as chris 4x4 did) that they would just put them there for monday.

My gut said the shop is retarded...............but I had to say......nooooo....a pro shop couldnt be naive to just put the leaf on top.

Well OP.....im sure a few life lessons were learned here......I know I had one re-iterated.

 

Good call on skippin truckin up but shit man that is worse than TU!!!! Shoulda asked for some help, I put mine and Zack's lift on in my driveway. Hope they take care of it for ya

 

Thanks man. If only the truck was in my name, we could've avoided this problem And I had a bad feeling about TU anyway. From what I hear, all they do is readylifts with blocks in the back so who knows what would happen if they installed my leafs!!

 

I feel bad for you.

Whoever did that, should sell his mechanic tools.

Hope it works out for you.

 

subbed for updates as to what the shop says....

 

Waiting for what the reply is from them tomorrow... Good luck with that shop man... Hopefully they can un-frig everything

 

They installed a 3in Super Lift on my buddy's 1500 Sierra and a couple months later the long bolt holding the UCA on came 3/4 of the way out, earning them the name of Fuckin Up

 

Tomorrow? I wish.. Try Tuesday

hahahaha yeah if I brought it there, my truck would probably be stripped for parts, sitting on cinder blocks right now
