Has anyone used the front kit from AirRidePro.com for their 49-51 ford? Looking at bagging the ford, but Air ride tech wants 549 for their front kit, Has anyone has good success with the ARP bags?
I've bought several things from ARP, and not had good luck with either. You get what you pay for at Air Ride Tech.
look long and hard at the shock mounting options on the front end of this. My friend bought the Air Ride kit and could not find a suitable place for mounting the shock. He ended up fabbing most of it and using the Shockwave setup. Maybe someone else out there has an easier option. Mike
ARP used to AIM industries (i believe) and there stuff has never been good, lots of people have had bad luck with there stuff on different forums.
We used Slam Specialties on the front of my brothers 49, because they are so stiff we didn't need to run shocks in the front. If ARP used to be AIM Industries don't use them there stuff was junk.
Airridepro.com is yet ANOTHER spinoff company of AIM Industries. AIM industries is the biggest bunch of ripoffs to ever sell air ride parts or anything for that matter. Most of the parts are cheap china ****, not rated for the usage or are cheap generic industrial parts. Their customer service is absolutely HORRIBLE. They will send you the wrong part.....the charge you 20% restocking fee and shipping for the correct part. The prices are low, BUT they make up for it when charging shipping. Often shipping is more costly than the actual part. The parts are junk. Their techs dont know jack. The horror stories that come from that place are consistent every time you hear about one. I havent dealt with them since back in 2000, but ive replaced more of their **** on other peoples vehicle than all other companies combined. every time they get a bad wrap they start another website with a different name and sell the same ****. truckin.com airbagit.com airridepro.com ch***istech.com and more that i know im forgetting. but the ads are all the same. .....its all the same company. all the same junk.
www.airbagparts.com i have used their stuff for 5 years and never had any problems... even had a box get lost in shipping and they over nighted me the new package....
