advice:new coil springs were installed today

534 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  checkster
I had some skyjacker springs with bilsteins put on today and the springs are all scuffed up like they were drug behind a truck bouncing off the concrete. 7 or 8 places where the red coating is ripped/scuffed off. Should I go back and complain? Obviously the tech didn't know how to use a spring compressor.
Am I being a little crazy anal? Is an 06 megacab and I want everything looking good.

Did you get a leveling kit or a full suspension lift? when the coil flexes it shouldnt rip the paint apart unless its a crappy paint job to start with, looks like the installer beat the crap out of it to make it fit, I just hope de didnt apply heat to the coil to install it and cause the paint to rip off because the coil will bend after some use, Ive seen it before on a truck.

Did you buy and install the kit @ the same place? how much did they charge for the kit and the install?
I bought it at Central 4 wheel Drive in Kent, Washington. Last time I go there. They're a bunch of morons. I just got the skyjacker 2" springs (#D25) and Bilsteins all around. It took 7 hours to install...yea 7 hours. A blind man with one hand could it faster. And like I said, the installer mangled my coil springs with the coil compressor.
They charged me $300.00 for the shocks, $189.00 for the springs, and $190 for the install.
go back and bitch !!!
id go back calmy and let them know that your unhappy and you feel shafted. try being mr. nice guy. if that doesnt work, get pissed.
sad part is, you dont even need a spring compressor with 2" springs. at least i didnt with mine.
