Man, I could imagine how that must be driving you nuts. But since th3godf4th3r and I was told early Jan. hopfully 3rd times a charm with you *fingers crossed*. Like you, I wouldn't be content unless I got the 7005, they had the 8188, 7023, 8023, 8188, 7105, 8069, and a couple more in stock, but I was willing to wait a month for the 7005s. Hey, if I'm going to pay $2000 for something it's going to be something I want.

 

i actually switched to the XD hoss's and they come in tomorrow but i will try to remember to ask and see if there is still a wait on the 7005's

at least here on the west coast

 

The Hoss is nice but it doesn't come in matte/flat black which is the finish that I wanted. The new XD Addict and Ambush looks pretty sweet though and they do come in matte black. But even though I was told those two most dreaded words "back ordered," I'm still gonna stick it out and wait because after I saw 07fx4silver's ride I was totally sold on the 7005s. Maybe after 3 months I'll reluctantly give up on the 7005s and get something else.

But yes if you could ask the guy about the 7005s that would be great.

thanks.....and hope to see your pics soon!

 

Oh really? I was told otherwise. I asked them(they only had the bronze on display) what the black ones finish was like and they told me they are like the Rockstar's. Ohwell.

 

As long as you are not dealing with their Denver location, I know that for sure!

 

I've been in contact with ProComp directly as well, 310-762-6593. They claim they don't have the 18x9 7005's in stock anywhere in the US; they're waiting on a shipment from China.

 

Well on 4WP's site it says matte blask finish, however, on KMC's XD site it states that they only offer the Hoss in Bronze, Chrome, and Gloss black. So maybe they started to make it in matte and didn't update their site, so I could indeed be wrong.

Yeah the guy that I dealt with said that ProComp had no 7005s in inventory. I guess I'll give it till February, then change my order, but i guarentee that as soon as I get my wheels on their going to get a shipment in and I'm going to be sick as hell.

 

Bit PO'ed at 4WP right now. What was supposed to be a couple days, its now a full week before i'll get my new stuff(wheels, tires, 2" AS ) done.

 

well the 7005's are still backordered.

and today i go there to get my wheels and tires installed and after sitting there for 2 hours the tech comes in a says we got a big problem...

WELL they sent the damn wrong lug pattern 6x139 instead of 6x135 soo UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so incredible PO right now

 

Sheesh, two PO'd people, you guys are making me nervous. I don't want to wait all this time only to have them mess up my shippment. But thanks for asking the guy.

 

well it could be worth it if they discount everything which they should

 

I am not very impressed with their customer service. I just got a set Bilstein for my Expdeition. When I started installing, I found the installation hardware from one front was incorrect. I called right away, and was told I'd have to send thenetire shock back, and they would get another out as soon as theyrecieved it. This is riduculous, considering my truck is sitting in teh driveway, with 3 new shocks, and one worn out one. Decided to call Bilstein's Eastern tech center direct, and the gentleman, I spoke to said he would get the parts out that afternoon, called Friday at 4:30, or he would hold them and I could pick them up Monday.

 

To be fair, they do price match. Got my moto metal 951's almost $250 off what they sell them for.

 

My local 4 Wheel Parts is great.

You won't know until you walk in there and talk to them.

 

On 2nd thought, that is no guarantee that your local store will be any good. But neither do pissed off forum members guarantee that your local store will suck.

My local outlet has sold & installed a lift kit & gears for me without any issues. Lift was done along w/ alignment in 1 day. Gears do not whine. Their techs are professional & knowledgeable, explaining every step of the process along the way. Sales staff either matched the lowest price I found, or advised me to order parts from another source at a lower price. No pressure sales. They even talked me out of a Pro Comp lift and sold me a Fabtech kit for less money. But your local store could still suck.
