Section one: BITCHING COMPLAINTS:
----------------------------------------
Blah blah blah....

Got screwed screwed at a local shop.

On top of that planned upgrade didn't work.

Will spend more money then planned, getting off target timeline to find gold..

more challenges and lessons..no choice but forward..

Section 2: WHAT I LEARNED
----------------------------
SOME AMERICAN SERVICE SHOPS CAN BE REAL SHADY.

The Auto Clinic & Mill Street Tire = Not good.
Nevada Auto Diagnostics= Awesome

If you have the freetime and can afford to lose time working..DIY..

Koni fsd are great shocks, if you don't carry any extra weight. If you have a heavy car/carry extra weight get the Bilstein hd . With extra weight they make the koni fsr bouncy as hell like the good ship lollipop.

Bilstein HD or koni fsd front and rear with and without terma4*4 30cm spacers front and rear + rear towing Springs, (all Id parts) ko2 at the smallest size I can buy 215/65/16 ko2s don't fit.

225/55R17 Yokohama Geolandar G91F 95H SL/4 Ply BSW don't fit.

Can't use 15" wheels.

You need a much larger floor jack.. Ideally 2 to install spacers with springs in your drive way than you need for springs alone.

Section 3: QUESTIONS
-----------------------

What's everybody's favorite recommended floor jack? And where do I buy it?

Can anybody recommend any multipli at tires that I don't know about that fit 16 in rims with bilstein's front and back and Tiguan / towing Springs and 30 mm spacers?

They need to be real tough so they don't get shredded in the desert.

2014 jsw TDI manual. 15" rims won't work with brake rotors.

Section 4: STRATEGY ..WHAT NEXT
----------------------------------------
I don't think I can lift the car much more, without messing up the alignment, CV joints, or traction control.

Either going to find a good set of 10 ply tires I don't know about that fit, or cut the wheel wells.

Will have to continue working to death and unfortunately neglect family a little longer.

Hopefully there isn't going to be an American civil war before we can get out prospecting for gold.

Hopefully California doesn't completely enslave all humanity (local cost of living increase as our town gets flooded by Californians is insane)
before we can escape to desert and the mountains 😉.
