I've met Pete personally, a couple of times and currently have Pedder's products on multiple vehicles. Never had any problems with Pedder's customer service.

Please explain how your springs are binding and exactly how you installed them? also, did you use the factory isolators and which end of the spring did you place at the top?

I had problems with a Pedders right rear spring clunking noise. When Pete says he will take care of you he means it...give him a little time. I contacted Pete through the Pedders forum via PM. It took a while but he did resolve my problem and I am very happy and will be a future Pedders customer. After no luck with the spring noise at an authorized Pedders dealer, Pete sent me a set of xa coilovers in exchange for the springs...the guy is pure class in my book.

If the noise bothers you guys that much, you can cut a properly sized fuel line or heater hose in half and lay it between the spring and the seat on the bottom coil
