Plans Screwed

Well, my weekend plans have been slightly screwed! I had ordered the Rancho RS 5000's for my Screw not realizing that they are not gas pressurized shocks. They advertise them as Cellular Gass Cell Shock Absorbers. When I got them out of the box to install them (after removing the factory shocks) I realized that they are not gas shocks at all. I went on Rancho's website and, sure enough, no gas, just old fashioned oil shocks.

Well, now I have reinstalled the factory shocks and have called Jeg's who graciously agreed not only to accept the return but pay for the return freight. I ordered a set of Rancho RSX's which apparantly are similar to the RS 5000's but gas pressurized. So, the rest of today's plans now must be put off untill next weekend. I tried to buy the RSX's locally just so I could finish up today and was willing to pay a little more to do so but the only place that had them wanted $97.00 each. Jeg's wants $50.00 each. Guess I'm going with Jeg's.

Oh well, I did get my brakes and windshield wipers installed, guess I'll just wait till next weekend to do the rest.

Sorry for the Vent!!!

So how would you feel if you installed a pair of $300 Drag shocks and found one is leaking after a week

That's why I never make any plans. 50% of the time, they never work out...
