Skyjacker SUCKS

Post by Wes »

I called Skyjacker 3/9/07 asked them about F740ks lift kit for my bump, they said it would lift an additional 4". Great you have it in stock, they do. Need to order from a distributor. So I place an order w/ Summit on 3/13/07
Summit has front springs in stock, but they shipped from 2 different warehouses, UPS loses 1. Summit reorders front. Back order to be shipped on 4/24/07. I received hardware Kit 4/9/07, looks ok except the instructions are for 1980-89 Ford trucks. I call Skyjacker ask about the instructions, they don't have correct ones, fortunately I don't need them. So the 24th comes and I don't get order shipped email. I call Skyjacker ask about the springs, I am told they have them. I call Summit, am told 1 to 2 weeks b4 they get them as of today 5/3/07 Summit doesn't have. Maybe by 5/26/07 I will have all of my springs. I'm so pissed I'm ready to cancel this order.
Anyone have any other spring vendors need a 4" for my 67 f250 4x4
Thanks

What can Summit do if Skyjacker won't make the springs. I just called Rocky mountain Suspension, and asked what they may have for our trucks. Robin explained to me that Skyjacker had a batch some poor springs come in from there sub contractor and sent them back. These Springs have been on back order for RMS since mid Feb. So when I called Skyjacker in March and ask if they had them, and was told they did......... A typical salesmen crap.
Robin said the Springs are expected in week same thing summit told me. I think this is the 1st and last Skyjacker product I buy. I really liked my Ruff country system was half the price and came w/ shocks, Skyjacker doesn't. I called Ruff country they don't offer a system for our trucks.

WOW, yep you got the run around. To bad they couldn't let you know up front about the bad springs deal. Good luck.
