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.

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.
