    Bugs, ya jackass. :smack:

    OP did you create a thread just to hear us say that you got screwed? Cuz you pretty much did. I mean it really sucks and I'm sorry to hear that, but creating a thread like this is pointless...you're doing the guy that ripped you off a favor by not outting his name. Really?

    Btw I've got a set of sky hooks that will fix your problem. I'll sell them to you for $120.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    We need to know! Sounds like they clearly knew they were totally useless and beyond rebuild (not to mention the ad that Leeper would rebuild). Complete false advertising, and we need to know that there is a buyer beware when buying from this seller. If the ad said, "they didn't work for me so I'll sell them as is", then it is what it is. You should get all of your money back and I'm not sure if you will get any back without outing the seller.

    This is a second time a member has gotten screwed due to a bad sale. Why won't the OP ever reveal the name... Frustrating. I think TW should have a B/S/T database of who sells what and to whom so others can see.

    My 2 cents. Im running the Leepers, and am quite happy with them. The springs alone are worth over $120.00 (new). Even if they are trashed, and need a full rebuild, you can have that done for $500.00 +/-, and still be ahead of the game as far as CO's are concerned. AND, you can have them valved axactly how you want. There is a guy in that area who rebuilds those shocks for a good price. All the parts are readilly available.

    Dont matter how much dude paid both sellers knew the item was crap now quit being weenies and trying to lighten the situation cause im sure you would be pissed if it was your money, work something out and if the seller dont want to refund then just put him on blast or dont even make a thread like this in the first place

    the guy that is doing the rebuild is trent hauber he used to work at icon, he said they're trash, that i'd end up spending a lot more on replacement parts than what the shocks are worth. he said the only thing they're good for is to put them up on the wall for design lol...

    i should have taken your advice from awhile back and never bought used suspension. wont happen again...

    you know what mike my wife had a day off and made me tell her all the money i put into the truck this year and it was over 5,000. i was like fuck i should have stayed stock til end of year and long traveled it.... lmao. ohh and mike what can i get for 60 bucks???? lmao.

    yeah 60... lol that'll make my day.

    Your in luck, I think that's exactly what Mike charges for a ride in his truck. That should convince you to go LT. But that's only for a ride in the truck. The "extra services" are not included but I think Mike is cheap, anyone could afford it. :p

    This thread is a fail...what is the point of posting all this he said she said crap if we don't know who's screwing people over on this forum.

    If they've done it once, they'll do it again. The only way to make sure this doesn't happen again is to say who it is plus they should be banned for fruadulent activity.

    If you went to a 5 start resturant and they brought out a hamburger and fries from McDonalds, then charged you full price for a 5 start meal and would only refund half your money you would name names and make sure everyone else knows about it too.

    So what's the point in saying someone screwed me, but I don't want to name them. They already prooved that their slime balls.
