SD vs FBI

[stv-lo]

so i was looking at putting a 4 link on my truck sometime soon and bagging it and i was wondering which one would be better.... a SD bolt-on 4 link or an FBI 4 link? ive heard good stuff about them both and also would i be able to do a 4 link and not bag it yet seeing as how it is my daily driver? any help or opinions on this subject would be GREATLY appreciated

[ls1s10onair]

fbi is ok on some stuff but most of there customer service reps have no idea about any of the products they sell plus there rude shipping is slow and most of time there out of stock of stuff on and on...SD 95% of stuff is in stock ricky and others are the shit shipping is fast for me A+ SD all the way!

wow that was overwhelming and quick... i was expecting maybe a couple of FBIRides but not even one? ok the next question is... if i do a 4 link would i immediately have to bag it or could the suspension be left as a 4 link with standard stuff til i get the stuff? i have an idea i just wanna make sure

[BlackEsDime]

not even going to look at the poll yet... but, i'll be willing to bet its unanimous towards suicidedoors

[BlackEsDime]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... no. the 4 link, 3 link, 5 link, or whatever you get has one main purpose...... to locate the rear. you have to either bag it at the same time, or get coilovers (greencactus did that). im sure leaving in the leafs will cause many many problems, if you can even do that

you would have to make spring mounts or use coil overs. the 4-link doesn't hold the truck up, just holds the axle in place. once you remove the leafs, the truck will have nothing to hold itself up.

gee what makes you think that?

[stv-lo]

thanks guys thats what i kinda figured but i just wanted to make sure... ive never bagged anything before and i want to do mine the best way possible while still maintaining my budget

[BaggedXMAN]

just an fyi i would hold on to order parts for SD until like xmas or new years cause they usually run a 10% off or some kind of special around holidays on 4 links or anything in store...

cause this is s10forum aka: suck sd's nuts forum.


nothing against them... they have a good service and quality products. but the amount of ass sucking around here is out of control.

FBI has been scamming naive people for years, including many on this forum.

So I pick SD.

FBI ranks right up their with AIM on the douchebag companies list.

[MurderedS10]

i dk why there was a poll on this... SD FTW!

[lowlaynsten]

LOl i cant belive this question was even asked

That was S.W.A.T. that did that, you toad.

[LiquidFusion]

Haha Dave fails.

sd parts are the best...but i live in Indiana and i have to wait 2 weeks for parts they have instock thats the only thing i have to complain about

[bygbyrd]

I want to know who voted for fbi. There are 5 of them. If you perfer their 4 link, explain y. This is what the forum us for. I have the fbi membership(i know it was a mistake". They say members get faster responses, which is bullshit. I messaged them from my account, waited 3 months and never got a reply. Sent one from my personal email and got a reply in a few ours. And theyre not for their customers at all. Lower quality parts and the prices have skyrocketed.

[ablues10]

I hate fbi. They told me that "our tail light fillers are perfect." That a load of bullshit. I hate FBI.

[J_SIN]

I tell anyone that will listen how shitty FBI is. Have been since I got into trucks. made my first order ever with FBI and it was absolutely horrible from beginning to end. Never did get what i actually ordered. I had to get valves instead of my door popper kit because I got tired of hearing bullshit stories after 3 months. Then a few years later I decided to give Jon a chance because he SEEMED like he was trying to change how FBI was doing business but that too was all bullshit. I would rather slam my dick in a sliding glass door while beating my balls with a hammer then order anything from FBI ever again.

[96blazer]

For shlts and giggles, I checked their site aain, FBI is still scamming people into buying that membership. What a rip-off.

As a Brushed Member, you will be able to log in to our secure website any time, anywhere, and view your Order Status, History, and UPS Tracking Numbers.

That's the same stuff most sites do for free.

Just check their price too. The membership doen't save you any money, on the parts i just compared, you can buy the same parts for the same prive or cheaper than their "membership price". They just list the non-member price high to trick the naive into believing the membership will save them money.

When i saw Brian moved the thread, i thought for sure it would be to the flame forum...

[bitchin sonoma]

suicide doors really nice product!!!

[corkyw123]

Only thingI've dealt with FBI on was a few roll pans and taillight fillers...oh, and my shave door kit....but all this was like 3-4 years ago. I've never had any problems with them except that they don't show shipping prices, even during checkout. So when you order you have no idea how they may screw you.

And the taillight fillers, definately Jap shit. I'm not really concerned with "exact" fit since it's welded and bodywork needed anyways, but theirs you'll have to trim, tack, beat with hammer, tack, cut the bitch back off and try again,etc,etc, etc.

SD definately has some beefy shit, I just cant afford most of the big stuff. But hell, I cant afford any companies bug stuff, lol.

So I say SD. I usually only use them for "parts" (bar ends, etc) and build my own arms, links, etc. But like everyone else already said, their service and shipping is top notch, aswell as their items.
