Got my 2 rear shocks and after looking at the boxes, noticed 1 box was covered in oil. Took the shock out of the box and the the entire packaging is covered in oill. It didn't even extend when the tie strap came off.
Ugh

Bought them from tire rack. Will call them tomorrow. Sadly they are on backorder now from that website. Will have to source somebody else.

Can you go factory direct? May take longer I haven’t dealt with them too much. Ran a set of 5100 many moons ago but installed through 4W Parts.

Tire rack was great. Called them up and all they asked was to send a picture of the shock and box. Within a hour I had a refund and they told me not to send it back. Ordered a new from another vendor I found that had them in stock. Should be here in a few days. Was about $40 bucks more expensive then tire racks price. Oh well.
