Default Am I looking at this right????????

Not that I want this because I bought Mud's springs.
But am I looking at this right?
Looks like someone screwed up bigtime.
1. they are coils.
2. they are not leafs as stated
3.there are 4 springs in the picture with four control arms for only $222.00

I should go argue I want what's in the picture and put them on the white 1995.

Thoughts?

There's a link in the ad that reads "See all vehicles this product fits", click it. Seems pretty clear to me, it's a ZJ lift...they don't have leafs.

Yeah no shocks and it seems the screwed up in the description and what parts come with it.
The guy at the store was just plain stupid so I told my parts runner to leave.

I wonder why they offer the control arms. My lift looked kinda like that only I got shocks. no control arms and a little bracket to change the position of the rear trac bar. I do need control arms. At least one.

Advance just uses stock photos,it probably shows the same pic for the front. A lot of the time you need to read the description to see what you get. HAHA don't know about the leaf spring part......could be a cheap conversion......but why would you want to convert to leaf as every Grand owner knows,coils are superior.

LOL picture or not the picture along with the text backs it up (minus the leaf part)
"Increases ride height utilizing front and rear coils and lower links"

My point is you can't buy most kits for this price so $222 and $100 for shocks and $78 for 2" BB and you have a 4" kit to start with.

4 lower control arms included for that price???

In my state they have to honor the advertisement.
I just wonder how much they could sell a 3" or 4" kit for.

Plus all pics are for reference, you can't use them as a argument when it comes to stores.

Sorry but you have no ground to stand on for this one...

Plus I'd be real scared using a $222.99 lift kit if it's not just Budget Pucks..

Do you live in CT? Do you know the consumer laws here?
Next the pics if they were for reference have to be stated so. It's the law in our state and others.
Ever notice the disclaimer in ads stores post?
Alot of us watch these ads, it's called bargain hunting.

1. They are springs, I've seen BB's split and compress.
2. They are made by Rancho not in somebody's basement.
So seeing it's made by Rancho would you feel safer if you paid more?





As I noticed Parts America screwed up on a few ads and in this one "leafs" and showing a different kit. #6414 on Rancho's site is rear springs.
So besides the picture I have the parts description to go on and that is more than enough proof.

Now I'll go buy this kit and some shocks and a 2" BB

Now are you going to ban me again for stating the facts?
