Man that really sucks. I would be a bit frustrated too. You have ordered a pretty kick ass product so it will be worth the wait!

I don't believe any 3rd party stocks EVO products. People say order from Northridge but guess what, when you order from Northridge they then in turn call EVO and order it. Skid_kid ordered his bumper and stinger from Northridge and waited almost 2 months I believe. I ordered mine from EVO and it was 5 weeks. I was told 2-3 but it was 5. I know that they are really backed up and have been for a while. They have a handful of guys working in the manufacturing side and are not some huge company like a lot of the others.

If you are really upset about it just call the shop and ask to speak to Mel or Lisa. They are normally there.

That's not entirely true about Northridge. My brothers wife ordered him the EVO front bumper and got it within a week because they had it in stock.. Also, I was on the phone with them just a couple days ago and they had some EVO products in stock that were still available. I imagine their "in stock" stash of EVO products probably goes extremely fast. My brother got his bolt on coilovers the same way.. In stock and within a week.

I guess it's just luck of the draw, but like the OP said.. I plan to order only when they have the parts in stock. Probably because I am impatient haha..

What Overlander said it correct. I ordered my EVO 1/4 pounder from Northridge and it was a two month turn around, my stinger was ordered straight from ORE and it was a 5 week turnaround. Most parts ordered from are made to order. The quality of the parts is outstanding and will be ordering an Enforcer lift soon.

You ordered a killer setup and will not be disappointed when it is installed.

I'm not saying he is wrong, that's why I said it's not entirely true.. They do stock their products when they can.. They just sell quick, so in order to keep up with demand they drop ship from EVO.. Same way I received my Evo Enforcer kit through Northridge. They drop shipped and it came straight from EVO and I had to wait like everyone else. That was the case bc they do not stock that kit. However, they do on occasion stock their products and you can get them quick. Gotta be lucky tho.

I could be wrong too, I was just stating some personal experience I have had involving this situation.. But I understand your point.. They may not actually classify it as sticking their parts and very well could have just had extras. Just to be a smart ass tho, lifts have fabricated parts too (i.e. track bar brackets, rack star skids and coilover towers, control arms, etc.) just saying

The 1st week in March of this year my Jeep went into the shop to get a hemi upgrade, as well as a EVO long arm kit, and front and rear double throw down setup. I have never had any Evo product's before. I have heard good thing's about them and do think that most that I have seen are functional and good looking. When my Parts were ordered in early March we (The shop and myself) were told 4 to 6 weeks at the most for the build and delivery of the products. Told this by EVO Manufacturing, now at the 7 week mark the shop started calling and asking where the stuff was, and what was the hold up. The reply he got on several different calls was "We are waiting on KING to get us the shocks and bypasses" ... After getting this reply several times we were now at the 9 weeks from order date, so we requested they send us the hardware so we could get it all installed and setup. In response to that request we got "Umm ok we can do that, give us a couple days to get it all together" This was over a week ago......... Now we are at the 10 weeks from order date, and are still being told they have none of it ready for shipping.... Arrrrrrgh!!!!!!

I don't mind having to wait for what I am sure will be a great product, however I hate the customer service that makes excuses for why they have not gotten you something. They blame other's for the delay, then when you ask them to ship the other parts you order, well they don't have there shit ready either. Moral of the story, I most likely never order another EVO product, and if I do it will be from a 3rd party that has the item in stock when I place the order!!!


Sincerely Frustrated
