I have the Pro 4X struts and shocks with stock leaf springs. The front is 34 1/8 and the rear is 34. What should I do to get the rake back? Adjustable shackles? Is 2" AAL too much rake?
-
I went with AALs, these rigs are way under sprung in the rear.
-
I would do an AAL, and see how much lift you get from that.
-
I heard that you don't need new U-bolts if you remove the stock overload spring with PRG AAL. What are pros & cons on the removing it?
-
If you carry heavy loads or tow I would leave it. I removed mine when installing my PRG AAL and reused the stock ubolts
-
Thx. That is what I needed to know.
-
You should be able to pick one up at HomeDepot.

Bingo.

Haha. Very funny. ;D

Also consider that when you add some armor (skids, bumpers, etc.) that the 1/8 of an inch will level out pretty quickly.
-
Yes. When funds permit, I would like to get a rear bumper with tire carrier. That would drop the rear even more. For now, I am probably going to leave it alone since I am level.
I was considering the PRG AAL. But, after reading the thread on PRG on thenewX, I am kind of worried about ordering from them.
-
Well nisstec offers a single AAL if your weary of PRG. I talked with Greg before purchasing my lift and found out we know a lot of the same people so I felt confident ordering from him. I received all my items very close to what he promised and he called me when there was going to be a delay.
-
That's pretty good customer service.

I've been reading the forums since I bought the X in 2007. I know Greg was a lot more involved back in the days. I am sure his business have grown many times over since. So, I can understand that he is a busy man. The opinions on the other board were mixed. I have never ordered anything from him, so I am staying neutral on the issue.
I have been looking at PRG and NissTec and weighing my options. Thanks again for the help. :)

ive worked in a small shop before so i understand it can be hard to answer phones and make parts at the same time, every time i have called him, if he didnt answer, i got a call back within an hour, sometimes as soon as 5 mins. Also considering i talked to him for close to an hour, that means some people didnt get through. i know customer service is paramount, and communication is key, but PRG is not the first, nor the last company to get a bad rep for customer service.
You have to understand, these guys are fabricators, not customer service pros. For some its natural but others not so much, i know i personally would be terrible at customer service. they may not know how to deal with an increase in demand like all of the internet business pros on the forums but they sure do make some damn nice parts, and for me that is worth the wait and money.

I used to install stereos at a small but busy shop. I hated the phone and it only kept me from being productive.
I'm not justifying what Gregs customers have been through, but I do get it. I have bought from Greg and he has taught me so much over the phone.....for free. I feel I owe him for educating me and I'll continue to be his customer.
For those getting frustrated or are unhappy, there are options available to you.
