Okay


I do agree that $600.00 is alot for a leveling kit, but it is his money not ours. Also back to the "crazy angles". Yes the leveling kits vs. the 3" skyjacker, all increase the angels of the front axle and Cv joint. It will cause some wear and tear over the long run. I have talked to mechanics and have shown them the new angles on the front end, their comment was "slightly more wear", depending on off-road use. But the guys running big tires with a normal lift, are going to have some problems down the road as well. First the additional weight of the wheel and tire will cause some problems on the front axle and cv joint as well. Also, people that have four to six inch lifts have "angle" problems as well. Im not necessarily talking about front axle angles either, im talking about front and rear driveshaft angles. You WILL have problems with your u-joints going out down the road. Yes i know the rear axle is "shimmed" but u-joint failure is inevitable. So to the few that talk sh#t about leveling kits and the 3" lift and the "angles" we have, the 4" to 6" lifts have their problems to.

 

Nice post and you've made some good points. I never said that I don't think I'll have problems DOWN the road becuase the installation of a lift and bigger tires. However, I don't plan on keeping the truck so long that Im really going to have to worry about it. However, when your upper control arm is almost touching the damn spring, thats something to worry about. Whatever though, its not anyone else's problem but yours so we'll see.

PS: U-Joints are pretty cheap. .

 

Yeah, like you've never made a mistake.....

 

Sounds like your just making **** up man.
Dont you think it's more likely that 2 guys who were lit-up emotionally about a problem, calmed down, and talked it out then came to a mutually agreeable compromise?

 

Nope, for one thing, there is no room for a salesman or the owner of a company to talk like that. Its called tact. If an owner isnt going to have tact, then he can kiss his customers good-bye. In the business world the customer is ALWAYS right.

 

Kevin/AS has done a lot of business with members of this board. I'd say the vast majority of the folks that have purchased kits from him are satisfied with their product. Keep in mind this started out as a NEW product to mod a NEW truck, there will be a learning curve.
Don’t you think he deserves better than to be thrown to the gutter over a single email that he admittedly shouldn't have sent and has since apologized for? Haven’t you said something you wish you hadn’t?
Another thing is I found it un-ethical for freeky to even post, for the entire world to see, a correspondence that was obviously meant for only him. Would you post something that someone sent you in a PM?

 

Can you prove what you said above??? Post a pic of your upper control arm, so we can see that there are no so called "crazy angles".

 

He's full of it. The Truxxx kit is the same design as the Autospring except the Autospring is stronger.

Here's the Truxxx


And the Autopsring


Similar designs except the Autospring has additional supports welded in. Not sure how they justify charging $300 for the Truxxx.

Toreadox,
I'm glad your kit is working out for you but you're an *** for celebrating someone else's misfortune.

 

BINGO!

 

Damn, that thing looks terrible(the truxxx)

 

That truxxx kit looks like a 5 year old welded it together. It it looks bent up

I said it before in my previous posts, AS makes a well built spacer, it just did not work well for me.

 

It looks like the truxxx spacer isn't held in the jig right causing warpage. As for the welds, they look fine. It looks bad since it's not painted as well as the autospring.

 

PS. I think 300wby is Autospring

 

Yes?

 

This problem is somewhat common eh?
I love how people are telling him it's normal
