[QUOTE="JAndreF321, post: 1509058, member: 40327"] Lots of disappointment this week. After watching some videos and reading around I decided to go for it and order the Icon leaf springs. I got a call a couple days later saying that the company I ordered from was sold out…apparently Deaver makes Icons and they are both back ordered? Anyway, I found another company with them in stock, Offroadalliance.com. Those guys were super friendly, knowledgeable and helped me out...kinda wish I ordered everything through them now. Updates: Timbren Active Off-Road Sump Stops: Stage3motorsports sent me the SES ones on accident and said they could not order the correct bump stop. This was after me calling 3 times to make sure they sent me the correct ones and they still sent me the wrong ones. The guy seemed annoyed too; I’m sure everyone is really busy with everything shut down for so long. I ended up ordering from 4wheelparts and should be delivered Thursday. [ATTACH=full]302595[/ATTACH] Eibach front springs: They’re in, but not sure when I’m getting the leaf packs so I’m gonna wait to install. Forged Off-Road bump strike plates: They replied back to me saying they were sold out but making more and they would ship this past Friday. Haven’t gotten a shipping notice, but hopefully soon. Icon Leaf Springs: Supposed to ship Monday. I didn’t realize these were freight and came on a pallet. Liftgate delivery made this choice a little more expensive. I had some time this weekend so decided to fix my crappy rattle can paint job on the tow hooks. I had originally stripped them down and painted using an enamel paint…which wore off while installing and continued to chip. I decided to go standard G2 blue and brush on the paint. This stuff is awesome and very tough, but difficult to apply and the brush they give you is garbage like everyone says. Last second, I decided to scuff the rear hooks and apply there also. The paint was too thick at that point and it didn’t come out too well. At least the front look decent now.
