What's bad is the tires and wheels are stock wheels with the same size tires that come on the sport just slightly more aggressive than road tread.$4500 for lift and tires? ”
Then I would say “Hell no!”What's bad is the tires and wheels are stock wheels with the same size tires that come on the sport just slightly more aggressive than road tread.
Dipped in "rustproofing"? I could show some photos to prove otherwise........ You can't dip true rustproofing. You can dip into a liquid to slow it, but they don't generally. Phosphating has been used by some companies prior to paint, it's not cheap, it involves acids. I've seen plenty of 5 year old vehicles around where I live with holes in the bodies - bumpers included. So much for factory "rust-proofing".Rustproofing: Who knows? Today's vehicles are literally dipped in rustproofing on the assembly line. There is no need or use for any dealer rustproofing. I don't know about this particular dealer, but some dealers used to squirt sealer into the doors as part of their rustproofing. That sealer would clog the drainage holes at the bottoms of the doors thus CREATING rust. You can buy a can of 3M undercoating at any auto parts store and spray it into the wheel wells and onto the floor pans. Likely, that's all the dealer does if anything at all.
Yeah, no kidding. Cars are now dipped in zinc during manufacturing. Sure, your Javelin and my 1970 Mustang Mach 1 didn't get dipped and they really need rustproofing. Modern cars, not really.Dipped in "rustproofing"? I could show some photos to prove otherwise........ You can't dip true rustproofing. You can dip into a liquid to slow it, but they don't generally.

Wow thanks for all that Info. Really appreciate the time you spent on it. Also impressed on the research !!It doesn't look like you have any good options dealer wise up there, Ruston and Jackson aren't even showing discounts. They might deal if you reach out to them prior to hitting their lots. I would suggest looking into Superior Dodge in Conway, Ar based on being in the Monroe area. If you're concerned about out of state, there are dealers in Hammond, Baton Rouge and Lake Charles that will do you right. I read someone did OK at Courtesy in Breaux Bridge but they wouldn't respond to emails so I ruled them out even though they're my service dealership. The dealer in Monroe is from the old era of scalping customers for every penny you can and they still haven't figured out the internet exists. Unfortunately, being isolated as they are, they'll continue to stay in business with the classic rape model for years to come.
