Hi Gt Campers,
Appreciate your comment.
However my case was not isolated, the more I searched, the more people I found who had dakkar leaf springs fitted, the more issues re poor manufacture I came across. ie other hiluxs and 60 series with both premature sag and uneven ride height.
sadly I had 2 arb stores have a go at fixing the problem, and both shops exhibited poor workmanship and damage to my vehicle.
I was left considerably out of pocket both in wasted time in their unsuccessfull attempts at fixing the problems and expense in fixing what damage they did.
When approached, they showed little interest in fixing the problem or even bothering that my vehicle was damaged by their trained technicians.
as i mentioned earlier, I used to use them exclusively, and reccomended them to all, however after those dealings with them, I would never reccomend them to anyone again.
Hey, if its an independant, who fits arb products, I know there are plenty of mechanics who take pride in their work like I do, thats fine, but not the parent stores, nor the culture that is shown in dealing with them.
Cant rest on past reputation if you do nothing to keep it.
On the up side, its now over 20 full suspention kit upgrades that I have advised to not go with arb. They have bean counters, they can do the maths on lost sales.
Of the few that did choose to go with them, they now wish they didnt, and prefer the ride to those who chose other makers Kits.
cheers
