Yup. I left another voicemail with Craig. Can't even transfer to Sean with their new phone system. I never got a response from their online messaging either.
If I can ever get ahold of a live person, I'll let them know that I need my half shafts back ASAP since I lost a CV joint recently. Mebbe that'll get them moving.

WooHoo
Sean made the mistake of answering the phone ... so I picked his brain for about 20 minutes (poor guy).
They are still going to offer replacement half shafts for us ... but it's still several months out. Probably won't be till late spring. They've taken all of the measurements from my set of shafts that they'll be needing so they are going to return mine soon.
The half shaft that they will be offering are a complete redesign so will look nothing like the OEM. They'll look something like this (click the pic to zoom):
As you can see in the pic, the boots are entirely different. They will not be offering replacement OEM boots to those that just want to upgrade the boots without the half shafts.
They are anticipating that these half shafts will be in the ball park of $1800 for the set. That's not suprising since that is the price of the others they offer.
The entire geometry of the CVs will be different so I'm really looking forward to checking out a set of these to see just what the improvements are. Despite the cost, I'll probably be one of the first to order a set.
For those that are lifting more than 3", you'll be able to order longer shafts.
For those that are lifting and adding the Super Flexy IFS mod, you'll also be able to special order the shaft with the slip joint added.

Couple ?????? that maybe you asked...
"a set"...is that left AND right? If so that is the same as a new oem set. So that is good!
will the cv joints have a higher degree of flex than the stock?
and lastly a huge thanks for keeping the ball rolling on this and following up!

I knew they would be expensive but closer to $1K rather than $2K. At least they look impressive

That's basically the price for all of their half shafts. Remember these are completely re-engineered to be bullet proof & high performance.
I new they would be expensive but closer to $1K rather than $2K. At least they look impressive

If that price is for both then its not a bad deal at all! ! Give your local stealership a call and price oem shafts.

Sean is supposed to have a driver side half shaft ready for me in 4-6 weeks. Price is $900 plus shipping. Only ordering the one side for now since insurance is paying.
I'll keep you posted.

I finally got ahold of Sean again. He's supposed to call me back tomorrow with an estimate on the completion date. Keep fingers crossed.

I give up.
We've been working with them for 7 months now & have nothing to show for it.
I just left Craig another voicemail. Told him that they've just lost a $900 sale.
I've left 6 voicemails in the past 2 weeks with NO returned phone calls. I did manage to talk to Sean & he was supposed to call me back the next day ... he didn't.
Not sure what kind of business practice this is supposed to be but it ain't working.
I'll wait a couple of days & try to contact them again asking for the return of my OEM half shafts. I guess I'll get them rebuilt for the insurance claim.
BTW, if anyone wants to start calling to see if they have any better luck: 815-877-7473 option 1 for Craig. Option 3 & then 7326 for Sean.
