Thumbs down Jack My Ride????

Has anyone heard about jack my ride going out of business? I've been looking at their diff drop kit. When I went to their site the other day to purchase the kit, the site had been removed...

The site is definitely down but that doesn't necessarily mean that JMR is OOB. It's most likely a conflict between JMR and the site provider. If you hadn't noticed, JRM switched site providers a couple months ago and the new site was s***. We'll see what happens.

Just spoke with one of the owners earlier today of jackmyride. They did close down the business, not enough business to keep it up and running. He said if someone is willing to make a purchase he can still sell a kit but turnaround time is 2-3 months. I have been saving up for the kit so I was pretty upset as well. Im glad he is willing to work with us. PM me for his info if your interested.

Kinda figured this would happen. Not much demand for a kit that is so expensive. Very small market segment.

I don't have his information anymore, I found it originally just by doing research on Google. You may be able to find his contact info by looking at the owner of the website information. I ended up getting a Harley instead of going another round on suspension ideas with my truck.

It's been 4 years since that post. JMR is out of business. You might get lucky and find a used kit on ebay for a few thousand dollars. Otherwise, you are stuck like the rest of us with coil spring spacers an lift blocks or helper springs and/or body lift. Search around this section. There are tons of threads on the subject.
