**fullthrottledan** · 03-01-2004, 03:26 PM

well,
i was trying to race a trans am and i put my sticky tires on the back and got the best launch of my life in this truck and i heard a big clunk. i made it back to my shop and lifted my truck on the lift and i bent the ears off my flip kit. the peice that is between the springs and the axle. i bent both sides. this would not have been too bad but i shattered my rear shocks at the same time. I called up AIM and they will not warrenty this. i have to buy all new peices. i was sooo mad. damn them, DO NOT BUY FROM AIM. man that makes me mad. sorry, i just had to get this off my chest.
i will post pics of the broken peices tomorrow when i take them off.

in case you were wondering...i got my ass handed to me by the trans am.

Wow, big surprise....

Just another story to add to the list on why AIM/Chassis Tech sucks.........

Physh1 · 03-01-2004, 04:26 PM

Yup...no big surprise. Their parts are inferior junk....good for book ends. If you browse any other trucks boards go to them and search for AIM. They have a nasty reputation. I will guarentee hundreds of stories like this and worse. Sure their prices seem good but it's pure crap.

So what have we learned here...........

Nelson Tune's will break the shit out of AIM/Chassis-Tech parts!!!!!

Sucks dude .... get a good flip kit this time. AIM is about as cool as "wolf-ass" or "swamp-ass".

**fullthrottledan** · 03-01-2004, 04:28 PM

yeah, i wish i joined this board before i did anything to my truck. i have learned the hard way on everything so far. just debating if i want another flip kit, or just do a 4 link and coilovers......

4-link and Shockwaves would be nice. :grin:

Depends on how much cash you wanna drop

. 4 link and coilovers would be sweet if it's in the budget.

i dont care of the price, i want it bad. i am looking at a KC 4 link and cantaleiver setup but i dont know what and where to get coilovers. i just called KC but they were out to lunch, i will call them adn see what they think for coilovers

**fullthrottledan** · 03-01-2004, 04:55 PM

i will live on ramen noodles and water so i can get this done...lol

so you guys think if I replace my chassis tech hangars the truck may actually come down in the back? I have belltech shackles, but chassis tech hangars and that bastard didnt come down at all in the back.

**fullthrottledan** · 03-01-2004, 05:57 PM

yes. get them bi@ches out of there

Why would you put the catilever kit on the KP 4-link? I thought the whole reason for it was to get more lift out of your air bags and to get a good ride on bags. Seems since you would be running coilovers the 4-link would be enough.

every truck site should have a "sticky" thread about the horror stories from aim.

The KP cantilever was probably not designed to use with coilovers. I would just get either a KP bolt on 4 link (which you can probaly use later if you want to convert to the cantilever with bags), weld on kit, or ART weld on kit to use with coilovers.....

**fullthrottledan** · 03-02-2004, 06:29 PM

well, i called chassistech and got them to warrenty these ones. i told them i would call my lawyer if they didnt. so the now ones are on the way.
