I ordered the spacers and am doing AOR shackles in the back.

So do you all think that with the BJ spacers I could fit 33"x12.5 Tires with wheels of 3.75 backspacing? Is this possible or pushing it? Thanks

You'll likely rub a smidge in the front. Remove the mudflaps & flatten the body seam & you should be just fine.

Oh, and good luck with AOR... I finally cancelled my order (along with a nasty-gram) after not receiving them for 2 months. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So if I have no luck as it already is appearing so after numerous messages and emails to AOR <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />, then where should I look for shackles? I am trying to avoid blocks.

Ditto on Roger (4Crawler)... Nice guy who knows his stuff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

As for AOR, same deal here... After *numerous* messages & emails I finally sent them this:

>>Ok, this has gone on long enough... I want my money back. Consider this official notification that I'll be contacting my bank to have the charges reversed.

To which I received my first (and last) contact:

>Before you contact your bank, I can do a card refund.. you can have your money back now, instead of waiting for the chargeback. i am sorry about the delay, i have a few pairs of Tacoma shackles on back order, and am building more right now.
>

To which I replied:

Too late... Because of your folks lack of contact (either by phone or email) I had to reasonably assume I wouldn't receive a response to the previous email & have already started the ball rolling with my bank. The number of voicemail messages left without response goes beyond ridiculous. May I suggest that in the future your company be a little more diligent in contacting it's customers back, lest it finds itself without customers.

I have been a customer in the past (purchased a U-bolt flip kit a few months back) and was planning to do a considerable amount of business in the future, but due to my experiences in this transaction I will regrettably be forced to take my business elsewhere.


No reply, but not that I really expected one... Sad thing is it took 3 months for me to get fed up & call the bank - Not like I was impatient or didn't give them *plenty* of opportunity to rectify.

Well you would think they would get their sh#$ together after losing so much business. I noticed my card was charged already, so I will wait it out a bit...who knows maybe I will get lucky. Thanks for sharing 4xGeek and adam. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

It's no surprise they run it at the time of order; most places do for distance orders. More and more walk-in places, too - you pay before they'll order anything.

I emailed AOR a question years ago, and the mere tone of the response put me off to buying from them - ever.

Card was charged at the time of purchase - online... Only placed the order 'cause their site said they had them in-stock, while with other items it showed a lead time (as though they actually had inventory tracking regularly updated). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
