Good guy????

Would this be a good guy to do biz with. Home

I am thinking of getting 10" lift springs from him. Please let me know if he has a good rep.

Don't know anything about him, but if the trucks pictured are using his springs, he must have a pretty good idea what he is doing.

Well they are somewhere near Fresno / Madera California. The phone number isn't a published number. Likely a cell phone. This isn't unusual these days. But I would be leery of them without a recommendation. Seems a little shady to me. Maybe ask in the Northern / Southern California forums here.

Yea, seems shady thats why I am looking into things. The # came up Fresno on a cell phone reverse lookup. And that web site looks like someone made it up in a few seconds. The e-mails I got from him said at the bottom Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T. Cant find any biz records with that company name.

If they are not a legitimate business I wouldn't deal with them. Especially since your on the east coast.

Ffrom what I can tell about him he's a small shop who simply buys from outside manufactures and resells them. Could be operating out of his garage for all it appears to be. heres a few links from other forums discussing them got some 10 inch springs [Archive] - FSC Forum
Have you heard? [Archive] - CK5 Forums
Theres a ton more links regarding them none that I found specifically said anything negative about them just most of them said they were kind of an obscure outfit but it appears that those have done business with them are happy. But then again most any and all links I found about these were more curiousities than answers. That and they appear to be popular with the Generic Motors brands crowds.

Thanks Oversize. As long as it not a total rip off Ill try it. Someone said in one of the links you put up that he had adds in a few off road mags back in 06. I don't think he would be around that long if he has been sticking it to people. At least I think we would have heard about him by now if he had a bad rep.

I think I'd try and contact them if you have doubts, send an e-mail, call them on the phone, express your concerns, ask for some references, then go from there..
