Anybody had any problems with these brands/parts?

I’m fixing to order some parts and just wanted to make sure I don’t order any junk.
Has anyone had any problems with any of these brands or parts.

Re: Anybody had any problems with these brands/parts?

I have 110K miles on a DJM 2/4 drop on my '96. I trust MOOG components, based on past experience. Delphi is the successor manufacturer for GM compents. My new replacement AC compressor is a Delphi. Dorman is the name that you find on HELP-branded parts from many auto parts houses, like AutoZone, O'Reilly's and Advance. They may not be a manufacturer, per se, but they've been around for many, many years in the automotive parts business. RideTech....good rep. I don't personnally have any experience with the others on your list.

What he said. And I'll add, from experience, that RideTech (formerly Air Ride Technologies) is pretty much the best in the aftermarket air suspension business.

Thanks for the feedback yall. I did a search to see what everyone was recommending, then tried to find a price I could afford. I just didn’t want to be updating my build thread, and someone say “I’ve had nothing but problems with that part”. lol. By that time it will be to late. So, I thought I’d ask before I buy.

I'm running a set of ShockWaves from RideTech on the front of my truck. I bought them secondhand from a private seller. I had one of the shocks break on me. They had me ship both ShockWaves in and they replaced them both for nothing more than the cost of me shipping them out. So, not only do they have good parts, but great customer service as well.
