So we actually might have some useful tech!
After assembly of the final revision (we thought) our old friend bumpsteer showed up for a visit.
After some alignment and studying the way things move, we needed to consult with the Ouija Board for a solution.

Hey T,

Nice work!

Yup, them coil-overs look ta be a bit "oversized"

Thanks! The coilovers need to be a coupla inches shorter. I'll build a couple of ten inchers. (don't go there Denny.)
whats on there are 12's but they should work nicely on project stupid.

Yer referring to the left coast I believe? It didn't used to be this way. I'm too old to even think about relocating. We just raise the fence a coupla feet every year and add another guard tower.
