Hello all. I am new to posting, been lurking for a few years. Figured I might as well join!
My first question is: Do people get pissy when a newbie asks a question that's already been asked?
I sure hope not, because it's tedious as hell to search through all the answers.
I have a 2007 Lib with a 2.5" skyjacker lift. It sits at 21" rear and front from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the fender.
Has anyone ever dealt with Skyjacker re: their lifetime warranty? My shocks are shot and they want me to pay for shipping from Wa State to Alabama AND replace my stuff with their overpriced crap just so they can MAYBE reimburse me. The guy at Skyjacker said I should have got more than 60k miles out of their shocks/struts. Of course the dealer I bought the kit from has to be the one to send the bad parts. He (dealer) is suggesting I forget the possible warranty and let him put Fox brand stuff on. Says it will be a better deal than even if Skyjacker reimburses me because Fox is a high quality brand and no shipping cost.
For reference: I have a 5 year old Skyjacker Platinum series Linear Coil suspension system that included the Nitro shocks. Rear shock p/n N8088, front strut p/n 9050S (but that's just the innards, not the big spring thing) The 2 guys I talked to about doing the work seemed to have a hard time finding replacement shocks because of the lift. WTH?
So questions include: Skyjacker warranty? Life of those shocks?
Fox brand - pros & cons
Do I need to replace the springs on the fronts? Or just
the gas shock inside?
Is he gonna be able to fit another brand shock alright
or will he have to use a stock sized shock and a
spacer? Is that ok to do? Why or why not?
Do you think $500 for front AND rear installed is a fair
price?
I'm no shrinking violet, but I am a female and don't want to get gouged on price because they think I don't know the difference. Thanks a bunch for all helpful answers. Please be nice!
