Default well this bites...

I got bilstein shocks for my 03' 1500 to do a front end lift with a torsion bar adjustment. Turns into a muchhh bigger project. First off the shocks were wayyy to big, but while I had the wheels off I noticed how badly worn my pads were and my rotors were cut past repair. So new pads and new rotors. Put those on and managed to break my drivers side caliper trying to push the piston back into the housing... Fergot to push them both in at the same time and popped one out of the seal. 70$ at dodge to get a new one. I get it the next day and install it. All said and done. I goto drive it and the pedal just goes right to the floor. I already bled the brakes too. So, I bring it to mavis to have them look at it. 40$ later, they say its the wrong caliper the bleeder for the caliper is on the bottom not the top (I only bled the brakes from the lines). So 40$ to tell me dodge sent me the wrong part. Now I called dodge back and they're gunna get me a new caliper (for free) by next wednesday. So now I cant drive it till then. I got new rancho shocks that are hopefully the right size coming the same day as the new, new caliper is. Hopefully that will be a one day job. And worst of all...today I got my superchip tuner for my truck in the mail today and I cant even drive the truck!!! I installed the program and everything and now its gotta sit there till next week. So much for trying to do a torsion bar lift, just what they tell ya...one project turns into another.
