Default Picked up the Meats: Who has RE in stock?

Anyone running into this problem with Rubicon Express? Called for a 4.5" with Leaf packs yesterday... Kept running into the same answer: "Leaf packs are on back order" ARRGH! "At least a month out".
Anyone know who actually stocks RE that can ship Monday?
Thanks for the help!
Mike

Very few dealers will keep the kits in stock and generally will do drop ships from RE. Reason they don't keep stock laying around and chance it not selling, inventory costs would be to high. I seriously doubt you will find any shops that keep them in stock. Only place I could think of would be 4wheelparts and I doubt they do.


Also trying not posting non-tech in the tech areas..

Thanks Guys... I will call those places Monday. On another note... there is a place near my house that carries BDS. They have their 4" w/leafs on sale from $1795 to $1295. I like the idea of the lifetine warranty and the fact that their company is close to me. I talked to them the other day and was able to talk to a Tech who actually knew something...
Kind of hard to swallow the price but I need to think about them also. It also comes with the shocks though... So it's a more complete kit....
What do you guys think?

Cool, I like the fact that they are made within 2 hours of me also. I guess the 4" isn't too bad when you figure it comes with the shocks also. They are Bilstein 5100 series with the BDS logo on them. I see they are $89 on their website.
The only thing about that is my oldest Son manages an Auto Value so I get parts for really cheap. I'll see what he can get those for.
I think the BDS 4" with a PORC SYE kit would do the job. Since I'm still laid off do you think I could use the extra front driveshaft in the rear with the SYE? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get a Tom Woods or something like that?
Thanks
Mike
