Long Travel BS Thread

Less than a price of a stock beat up 1st gen I'll tell you that lol

 

Depending on how bad they are bent, Id just do a simple shock hoop with enough room for a bypass later down the road, and tab the top and run a crossover bar over the motor.

 

Well decided to have my bedsides painted by McNeil since I'm down in SoCal for a few weeks. Picked it up tonight after supercross and looked pretty good, stopped in temecula to get gas and looked things over, not fucking happy. Tailgate is scratched to shit, had them rhino line the insides of the glass to help with spider cracks and overspray is all over the cab and everything else and scratches on the cab. Anyone looking to get a fair price on paint don't go to McNeil. Maybe I'm picky but this is pretty fucked up and I'm not very happy since its damn near a brand new truck

Experience or just from what you have heard?

 

Tell them, this kinda exposure is the kind of thing any company wants to avoid. And I think it's bullshit if people make the excuse that "you get what you pay for". I could see having those kinda results if you pay for some cheap back yard paint job but McNeil is a professional shop and they should have a certain set of standards no matter what they decide the end cost is.

 

Experience.

 

What kind of problems?

 

Let me grab a link. But basically stuff not assembled correctly from the factory. Poor customer service. They don't follow any sort of torque specs at all

 

I'm long travel rear now too.......3" wider

 

I have taken them apart for valving changes and found metal shavings inside most of them, new shocks from FOA never been taken apart. Seen the coilovers fail in various ways. Upper spring collars breaking and same with lower spring cup.

 

Already called and left a voicemail

 

Seen the insides of a brand new set of coilovers. Both pistons were backwards, metal shavings everywhere, bures left on all the holes in the piston. Foa would do anything for the buyer either, they basically told him you get what pay for.

 

They don't care. I tried to post about how they treated me just getting my fenders and everyone chalked it up under "typical with any glass company". Sorry but I don't consider how they treat customers "typical". If my company was viewed how theirs is I would hate to see the "good".

 

soo im teaching myself solidworks lol, and im workin on making myself some hiemed uppers, 3/4" rod ends?

 

3/4" x 3/4" is pretty standard for uppers

 

cool yea that's what I was thinkin, thanks!

 

i have had opposite with their customer service, they have always been top notch for me. I will say that i have had 4 pair so far and at least 2 leaked within a year. if you are handy, they are still a great deal.

 

I can also attest to the good customer service. They always got replacement parts sent out right away with fresh oil. But it was replacement parts that would of not been needed if they had better QC. None of the pairs I serviced held nitrogen fresh out of the box.
