Default Won't sell anything "Country"

Went to a couple local 4x4 Installer/Shops, and found out something. They refuse to sell anything made by companies with "Country" in the name. I ask why? They say, "Customer Complaints", "Poor Quality".

Has anybody else run into this?

Yeah, I thought so, too. Two of them are Rubicon Dealers. All sold Rancho and Skyjacker. I went to 4 shops. 3 of them wouldn't talk about Rusty's either. Got me wondering if it really has more to do with Pricing and Dealer discounts than anything else. Just wondering.

Ya, that might be why they dont carry them. More of thier AAL have been sold, so the more sold the more problems will arise. Especiall sence they are a cheaper company.

Shops have to make money so they sell the high dollar stuff so you don't notice the mark-up as much. If they are worth anything they will get you what you want but it is cheaper to get a lot of thing direct from the factory. Danged ole internet ruins things for everybody.
