Just like anything, the more you want the more you need to cut out. coil over gays have cv shaft clearance issues, so if you want to go lower than that get the plasma out and we add a 2" C shaped notch where they will hit.

Honestly its cake. The only thing you want to research is who makes the right struts/bag for the front and/or rear that dont have problems.

You saw the truck, we didnt research shit! Heck most of the rear suspension is off an S-10, and was never ment for a ranger, let alone a one off custom frame!

Buy parts, and build it! done and done

So basically your insurance company thinks your car is worth about $500? I dont see how thats totalled. I know its old but still its not that bad.

Since its over 7 years old most likely not. Thats what I remember from rebuilding wrecks- for some reason in NY they dont give out salvage titles for older cars like that.

Also since he’s keeping the car he probably wont need to get a new title or go thru the NYS theft inspection (where they check rebuilt cars before issuing a title).
