Next I added the bed sides, then parked it and stripped the front suspension. I sent the beams to dave over at threat and waited.... got the beams back.

Next it got complicated... one of my asshole neighbors decided to call the city due to my bronco being on jackstands. Supposed child endangerment and a nice little wright up for abandoned or inoperable vehicle..... grrrr, anyway I made the ugly but functional coilover mounts after assembly.

I decided not to lengthen my own beams due to not wanting to deal with axel length issues.

....full tuck, I maintained full steering at full tuck and placed the coilover mounts from there.

Full droop

Next I put on the tires bled the breaks and drove it out of the driveway made a uturn and parked it, all to get city off my ass. Then once violation was dropped I started the front bumper.

Front is choked at 16 from 18 3/4 from a 14inch coil over. Found the el jefe steeker at the local parts house, it made me laugh so I bought it.

Ya these clowns in my neighborhood are a stuck up bunch, apparently I'm of the lower class because I fix my own cars and its above them to get earthly filth upon their pompous hands. Lmao. I kinda want to play the city game back at them, oh it doesn't help matters that my neighbor straight across is a sheriff lieutenant and his wife is a teacher. They have a spare veihicle that hasent moved in 7 months I could complain about it harboring a rat infestation and I'm concerned for the well being of all neighbors due to Black Plague and rabies concerns.
