I have a performance shop that will do exhaust/headers in Mundelin, but I have yet to find a place for suspension work.

I also have a great tint guy in Vernon Hills too if you need.

Call your dealer and ask if they have a SVT certified tech and ask for a price .

Just had mine done at dealer for 315.00

No impact on warranty as they did the work. Now if something
Were to happen it would be best for me to go back to this dealer.

Perch adjusted... I'm a little pissed

So, I had a dealer adjust my front perch to the middle setting, when I went to pick it up I took a peak underneath and it looks like they whacked on both of the blue retainer rings to move it... Does anyone wanna speculate why? Did they not remove the shock? I was pretty pissed and I demanded to speak with the service manager Monday am when he gets back in.... So am I being fair being pissed about this?? The truck has 300 miles on it and it just seems lame that a dealer is whacking on shit with a hammer.. Thoughts??

so do you mean the blue aluminum is banged up and beat to shit?

If thats the case, they didn't do it right and I'd make em plop down the $1500 for two new setups in the front.

Personally, I don't see how they could have just knocked em into place, considering you have to move that ring while its slid up, and you have to compress the spring at the same time.

Shoot a few pics. post em up.

Yep, I'd be pissed. That's not right at all. Time for a set of new shocks on the dealer's dime.
