You'll find a lot more threads on this topic via the search engine, although the repetition of this question will make it hard to find the best threads.

You'll need a pair of OME 912 springs for the rear and a socket set to raise the front torsion bar ! Nice and easy (and cheap)

Those "kits" contain a lot of unneeded extras...you simply need springs for the rear (your choice dependant on desired hight...OME 912, 913, or 919's). Crank the torsion bars up front, flip the ball joint if needed, get an alignment...done...tried, true and tested A search of the site will net you a ton of info on how to do this.

Totally agree. Try the search function at the top of the main page, you can find A LOT of info that way and if you don't find it there please feel free to ask :-) Here is my write up for my lift project. It is super easy, springs (I got 912's, 919's are just a slight taller and stiffer) and torsion bar crank, then get a lifetime alignment at firestone so you can mess with it later and never have to pay for an alignment again.

Last VX I had I did the Calmini lift. Whats the price for just doing springs and bumpstops alone and where to order. With the 919's how much lift are they?

Yeah the calmini has stuff you don't need and you are overpaying WAY too much with that kit for stuff you don't need. Springs are normally $150 I believe that is all you really need.
