    I know that's what it seems like on here but that's not true. Corey does do other projects like build a full Chevy s10 drag race truck. Repair trailers and a lot of custom stuff. So it's not just friends he does work for. Just to give you a little bit of insight.

    I wasn't insinuating he takes on no other work, but from what I've seen, and others have confirmed, that's how he comes off. You admit it yourself.


    He would be wise to work on improving this perception, regardless of where it stems from. IMO, those on here touting his work are doing him a disservice while so many others get ignored.

    Just from seeing all the stuff posted on here, the one random good job with 1,000 in progress or inquiries being completely ignored is definitely the vibe i get.

    I know people get stretched thin, but complete disregard for potential or current customers isn't a winning plan... Unless you're in politics.

    Not trying to discount his work or talk crap... Just a viewpoint from someone without a foot in the game. And if i needed work I'd hit up Jack. @3378jakesr5

    It's not like that. Brett and I don't fight. That's why I deleted my post. He'll see the notification. I didn't want ppl to think it was bad.

    I think this is one of those moments that maybe we need to consider walking a mile in the man's shoes before you cast judgement on someone you don't know.

    But hey this is the Internet and everyone is entitled to their asshole whoops I mean opinion.

    This is not pointed anyone, just a general observation of the thread right now. Oh and that my asshole that I am entitled too.

    No fights. Just intellectual and philosophical debates.

    Ray usually does a very good job at making me see other perspectives I wouldn't have otherwise seen.

    Ouch. If you want to play that game I would suggesting walking a mile in the shoes of all the customers, or possible customers, that got ignored, and not base you opinion, or asshole as you state, on someone who was lucky enough to be given the time of day.



    He's running a business, and therefore your empathy argument doesn't work for me. A long as he adverts his business services, I don't believe he deserves any sympathy for failing customers.


    And with that, I'll leave well enough alone.

    So if I may switch the conversation: Would you run an aftermarket bumper on stock springs/shocks? Or should you always at least update the springs?

    Not that I have aftermarket bumpers or shocks/springs but I'd do both at once. You could do one at a time but it'll make handling worse.
