Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

you look at there site they say everyone else is junk and theres is the best. so you see "I have the best" with "lowest price" and newbies buy.

Sad but true.

A false advertising suit would fail because every page has this at the bottom,

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

I called them today and asked about some of there stuff. The guy I talked to was a prick and started telling me how they do more in sales than there competitors have more adds than there competitors. And asked my age and told me that I probably was just pissed at them because I was jealous that I couldn't afford there arms.

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

aim is so gay and jason does not sell the same kit for 1495, he sells a high quality road grator from air ride tech, with sleeves, and shocks. not this b/s "street scraper" with double convoluted bags... **** aim.

O well, at least people on this site should be well aware to stay away from them. I wont buy from them. The companies like Viair, airride tech, suicidedoors, fmkustoms. I have all dealt with and they have all been very nice.

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

I have bought from aim in the past and they totally blow. The stuff I bought all had issues and they have the worst customer service in the world(even worse than bill collectors). I used to call them like ten times when I was buying from them and would get different pricing on everything(they just guess) then I would take the lowest price and call them back and order. That was probably 4 years ago but I would not buy from them if they were the last minitruck supply place in the galaxy. My 4 cents. SD has my business for life.

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

Question, their "plug and play" system, who did they copy it from? (I don't for a second think it's their idea.)

I like the concept but I'd rather get it with good parts from a good company.

Though their claim that it saves "16 hours" kinda blows my mind. You still have plenty of wire/hose to run. I also wondered if that box wouldn't cause the pump to overheat.

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

This Boss Suspension is Not a Aim company

The guy who runs this left Aim in Australia and went straight to Aims old manufacturer Aplonex

Its the same stuff just rebranded

Aim's new company is Airidepro which is just the same thing redone again and renamed

Now there is a copy of the copy
Now that's funny

it's under the arm? that means that only 4 little bolts are holding on your WHEEL!

I'm pretty sure they just don't know how to photoshop, the ball joints should be on top so if the bolts fail it just gets sloppy and hopefully you dont die, or should you for buying aim arms?

Re: AIM at it again ..'BOSS AIR'

Ok guys I was wrong on this one I was recently contacted and shown proof that Boss air is in no way connected with AIM, they have simply bought the products that Joe at AIM would not pay the bill for and have (as I was told) them them made with better quality.

To follow in faith of this thread,

Here IS another AIM name,
AirRideComponents.com
