cornfed suspension

I think that I am going to order the 3" front spacers with the diff drop from cornfed suspension. The only way to order online with them is to send the money to the man's email address. Have any of yall delt with them? Are they worth trusting, is it a reputable place? Any help would be great. Thanks

very very good people. they are extremely reliable. Do a search for them and things will pop up. the only bad thing i heard was something about taking too long. also try jason burtman...i believe hes selling cf stuff. www.burtmanindustries.com

Yeah, you just send paypal to their acct, which is the email address.

They are good folks. Takes a few weeks to get your stuff, but, thats normal.

Good peeps, but like the others have said, it may take awhile to get your stuff. It's basically a 2 man operation. One of them is in the Navy so that's why it takes so long to get your stuff, but it's all good.

Cornfed is good stuff. I'm currently riding on the same 3" lift in the front that you're thinking about getting. There were some concerns about delays in getting things out a few months ago and I don't know if that was resolved.

Localmotion's advice is good. Go through Burtman - I haven't done any business with him but everyone who has on this board seems to pretty pleased with him.

Why wait weeks for Cornfed to make and ship you the stuff when Toytec spacers are basically the same and good in stock and ready to ship.

The nearly four months I spent dealing with them was LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE. I started THIS thread in January (when i ordered my 3" lift), by the time they finally got every thing taken care of, I had just about forgotten about the thread. So my experience with them was a bigger pain than what is written.

I did finally get my kit, four months, alot of phone calls and e-mails, after ordering. I am happy with the kit, but have to share my two cents when it comes to these guys.

I see the 3" revtek kit needs new shocks

why does the cornfed not need new shocks?


thanks

Cornfed spacers are the way to go just from my experience. I also had the diff drop from Cornfed and since it's a flat diff drop spacer and not tapered, it actually bent the bolt slightly so when I de-modded, it was a b*tch to get off! 4crawler and Steve Schaffer both make tapered diff drop spacers. Just my $0.02. Good luck!

Yes, these kits are great. It doesn't need new shocks since the rear is 2.5. Good to go.

You'll have to ask them, but the cornfed doesn't and is tried and proven. I can't say how nice this stuff is.

I got the 4crawler diff drop and I don't think it was tapered... At least I hope it isn't because I just popped them in place and tightened... Looked even on both sides.

yeah... what happened there...???

Did it have to do something with the lift and not having the panhard drop and it somehow punctured the gas tank causing an explosion?
