Shock towers

I bet that they are having a hard time like most manufactures getting back up to speed after slowing down so much

My brief understanding of the topic is that they got very mixed up from effectively shutting down for two weeks during KOH. Also, they have a sales rep that they recently let go who dealt with 90% of there orders who was notorious for the "two weeks" line and have given a lot of customers grief. It seems like Dave is making a real effort to turn recent events around and I hope he succeeds as they have some truly great products and production capabilities.

I just read the Ballstic Bash thread and that was rough. Tate I would get in contact with Dave at Ballistic for best luck.

Sucks. I was missing a couple inner seals for the dana 60. Now I am waiting for napa to send me them. Won't have the axle back until the end of the week. This is getting frustrating waiting on parts. I really need to get this thing together.

Looks like it was a good thing you didn't bring it into Atomic4x4

Just makes me glad that we don't deal with the general public. Pricing pressures keep you from being thorough. In this case it could have killed someone. That sucks for all involved. I guess that's why Sunray charges so much.

I just saw on Ballistics pirate zone that they finished a production run of the shock towers yesterday. So if you still have the order I would expect to see them soon.

They are shipped but not here yet

**Shaggy** · 03-23-2011, 01:48 PM

I am going to order the rear driveshaft soon and was wondering who is best out there. High Angle and Tom Woods are two companies I called and they are in the same ball park on price but Tom Woods would have it here super fast compared to High Angle. Who else is there out there that would be worth looking into?
I am looking at 1350 flange style cv front and standard 1350 rear 26.25" long.
is thicker 120 wall worth the extra $50 from Tom Woods?

i figured it was worth... better chance when dropped on a rock

**bcolman** · 03-23-2011, 10:07 PM

i have a high angle driveshaft and his customer service is great, i broke the ds and it was my fault but he fixed it all i had to pay was shipping back to him

**Shaggy** · 03-24-2011, 09:05 PM

Still waiting on front axle. They finally have the seals to finish it but they are swamped with other projects. Mine keeps hitting the back burner.

Things to do

Finish crossmember
Transfercase linkage
Driveshafts
Mount and bleed ram
Put 60 back together and under jeep
Front shock towers and air shocks.
Trackbar
Exaust

That is a lot for one week with knowing I won't have time to touch it this weekend

**Shaggy** · 03-30-2011, 06:11 PM

Driveshafts are ordered. I would have to pay an extra 200 to have them here by Friday so I am out for sure this weekend. I will be ready to wheel tuesday though.
