We're Still Rockin'!

With all the doom and gloom about the economy, I figured I'd write a short post today just to let you all know how we're doing. Why? Because people keep sending my notes and calling me, saying "I'm glad you're still around."

What a nice thing to hear - that people are glad we're around. But the undertone of that is that so many shops are not still around.
Now I'm not going to pretend that everything's wonderful and we're rolling in the dough. I think you're smarter than that. 2008 was horrible and it took out a lot of shops, manufacturers and distributors. For us, it was a losing year financially but we're still here. We're still paying the rent. We're still shipping products in a timely manner.

What hasn't changed is our commitment to top-notch customer service, quick response times and great parts and accessories.

So rest assured, we plan on sticking around for a long time. In fact, we're hitting up new technology more and more every day. Our facebook page is growing steadily and our new twitter feed we just started has been a real gas and our followers are snatching up the daily deals there. Be sure to sign up!

Thanks for your patronage and your confidence in us.

Still Rockin' in 2009

Our New Billboard

Wow! Our new billboard is up in Chelsea, Alabama. It's very exciting for me to see it, as it's my first. I'm hoping it will bring us lots of in-store business. People keep telling me they can't find the shop or didn't know we were here so maybe this is the ticket. Let's hope so! Thanks to Westin for the awesome truck photo, too!

Smokin' Deal on Bilsteins

If you're looking for shocks for your truck or Jeep, now is the time. Bilstein 5100 and 4600 shocks are on sale! This never happens! They are Buy 3 Get 1 Free! Really! Now of course some exclusions apply, such as if our distributor doesn't have your part #. Always a caveat, right?

But if you're interested in a set - any set - any part #, give us a call and we'll get you rockin' since we only have some of the Jeep applications on our actual website right now.

A Note on Torsion Keys

I had a very interesting discussion with my rep. from ReadyLift this weekend at a trade show. We were discussing the cost of their kits (most are $229.95) vs. others on the market since everyone seems to be selling leveling kits these days.

One part of our discussion was about torsion keys in particular. Why are theirs double the price of others on the market? Well, he had not only a great verbal reason but he whipped out an actual exhibit!

Notice in the photo how the ReadyLift key is forged. Not always the case with other brands. The broken one you see was cast and is off of a customer's truck. He came out to his truck one morning to go to his work and one side of the truck was on the ground, resting on his fenders. Now imagine if this happend at 80mph!

So please consider quality when you purchasing your parts - any parts. Remember that your life actually does depend on it.

We carry every ReadyLift product on our site. Just search "RDL" or go here.
