Received all my Aev lift from Quadratec .. welll that's what I thought.. Started my install and half way through I discovered No bump stops.. fml, .. checked Quadratecs website and I have one more package set for delivery on the 6th.. A package that only weighs 3.5lbs. WTF. why not stuff that in with the other 112lbs. Of packages? ??? .. Now I'm driving around with only the back lifted!!

First of all where's the pics of the rear lift!

Second of all install the front lift (After you take the pics of just the rear lifted) and run without the bump stops until they come in, just watch what you do.

That is what I would do!

Per instructions the front bump stops must be installed in the springs prior to install.. And I'm not about to do it twice.

I don't know why they do that stuff..... I ordered my dad AllPro bumpers for his Tacoma and wheels & tires too... 3 of the 4 wheels came one day and the last one was scheduled for delivery a week later! Really a week!?!? Wtf then the bumpers come and this is dumb but annoying.... The bumpers both came but only one D ring... The other D ring got shipped separately instead of in the box with the bumpers!

Fill the back seat with a couple plumpers and it will level out.

When I got my lift from AEV they sent everything, and I had it professionally installed and off roaded for about a month and a half. Then one day out of the blue AEV called and said They had sent the wrong shocks, and not to take the jeep off road to avoid damage. When I told them that I had been wheeling several times already, they changed their story said that would be ok and not to worry about the damage. Shady. They sent the shocks the next week, and I returned the original ones. A lot of headache and extra cost (not reimbursed), so I feel your pain.

That's why you always check your parts list. I don't know how many times I've heard of people tearing apart their vehicle as soon as they pressed the order button and then find out the parts are back-ordered, or they receive the parts and find out their is a bolt or something missing.

Amen. If Quadratec is going to start using them, they will go down in my book.
