also i hate to bad mouth anyone or company, but i ordered my 4 link from thorbros since there were local, money has been taken from account but now i cant get them to return any of my calls (4 in total) has anyone else ordered from them? thanks
I had cab and front fenders on just so I could be sure the fenders lined up to the front wheels. Front axle is pretty much the only thing that can't be shifted and moved Engine and trans fitment after that.

For suspension parts, I tried Matt's Bowties on this forum and I can see my shipment is about to be delivered today. Turn around time I think was a week. I originally was going to go with Thorbros but read far too many posts about people waiting months for their stuff to arrive.
