Has anyone bought from AIM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Low84 · 06-13-2005, 10:41 AM

Hi, just wondering if anybody on here has bought or heard something about this company. I am planning on ordering their airbag kit, but don't want to mess up and buy a piece of ____ kit. Any info on this company or airbag kit (the one that shows up on every issue of Trucki'n $898, now $750). Thanks in advance.

I bought stuff from them once with no problems but 99.99% of everyone will tell you to avoid buying from them. I probably just got lucky. They have cheap prices but outrageous shipping charges. I'd recommend buying from a more reputable vendor.

Low84 · 06-13-2005, 11:41 AM

Ok, thanks alot for the info.

So you don't have any firsthand knowledge of shady business practices yet you post to their detriment? Hmmm...

I would recommend suicide doors as well, great service and very fast shipping, I have done buisness with them three times now.

fastbagged68 · 06-13-2005, 12:15 PM

They suck! I have installed one of there 4 links in a customer truck.... Peice of crap. Another guy I know bought an air tank from them and they charged $50 to ship it! Should have only been $10.

Low84 · 06-13-2005, 12:53 PM

Glad I asked before ordering. Was planning on calling them this week. Someone told me that ART makes good kits. Anyone know the website or for that matter anyother good website that sells airbag kits.

bigred66 · 06-13-2005, 06:39 PM

BTW I have AIM on the Talon never had any trouble with it. Other than the sh&@ hardware (fittings and carriage bolts)

*ghetocrewzer* · 06-13-2005, 07:48 PM

Just watch ur credit card charge at suicide, my buddy was charged 3 times for his bag setup/4 link came out to like 8K hahahahaha Also it was just a mistake and they took it back off as soon as they realized it
I still wouldnt buy from anybody else

bagged69c10 · 06-14-2005, 01:32 PM

Ive also done business with them 3 times now and have no complaints. I had some stuff on my truck from aim and it all sucked. It will get the job done but it still sucks.

phantom dually · 06-14-2005, 09:34 PM

AIM=CRAP overpriced at that. Ordered a few parts years ago. None of them fit without mods. Do a search for AIM and you will get back a few complaints.

longnlow72 · 06-27-2005, 12:29 AM

i bought a handle relocator from them and it fit like crap and was almost more $ to ship than to but i wont ever buy from them again

KdawgS10;

The BEST response and post I have ever seen!!!

Spherical rod ends or "heim" ends should never be used on the street.
Not enough flex or give, they WILL break over time.

Just my .02

CCDually

KdawgS10 · 06-27-2005, 10:39 PM

yea I was mostly letting them see the size difrence. but yea heims suck balls. and if the dont break they wear out and get a ton of slop in the system.

thous are MY pics. the little rod end is from FBI and they use the same size as aim. I was gona use the FBI kit on my S10 till a buddy of mi=ne had me install the suicide kit on his S10. I sole that fbi kit and bought me a very beafy suicide kit for my dually.
