Leaf Spring Debacle!
Just need to vent fer a minute.
Ordered myself some Skyjacker 2.5'' lift leaf springs fer my 2K Taco. It took 2 months for them to arrive when I was told at the time of ordering that it would take 2 weeks tops. Anyway, I jacked the truck up and proceded to remove my old springs and install the Skyjackers. Immediately I noticed that the bump stops werent gonna line up and that it looked like the axle had been moved back a good 4 inches. I call Skyjacker with the part numbers to check and sure enough these springs are for a 05-06 Tacoma. So's I call the place I got them from and tell them all fun times I'm having and how pissed I am. Mr. Customer Service told me the numbers in the Skyjacker catalog were wrong and it wasnt his fault. His answer to my problem was to "Put the stock springs back on. It'll look funny for a while, but there's nothing you can do." Now I gotta wait till Tuesday at least to pick up another set that he MAY have somewhere.
Do I deserve any sort of compensation for this mix-up? This has become a real pain in the pooper, man. I guarantee you I'll order online from now on.

STRAIGHT UP! Stupid $#@!n' people as an interface SUCKS! I want my money back many from several dumb*&^%s who can't even sell you a product that they've got sittin' right on the shelf there, beside the one you end up with.

Yeah.
Should have stopped going there long ago. Any time you need service its either the dude who looks at you (and speaks to you) like you just hopped off the short yellow bus or the jacka$$ who has a severe deficiency of customer service skills and refuses to say hello or answer questions. Awesome.
