One is suspension and the other is body. Everything that I bought is listed. You dont use everything in the body lift kit as it is for a trooper, but Jake recommended I buy it and we found other uses for some of the left over pieces. The spacers are what is most important. I think we has two spacers and the steering wheel parts left over as the you will have no need for them on the vx. we found uses for everything else.

The link takes me to exactly what I bought. Isuzu 3" Body Lift Kit . I might have pasted and copied wrong.

No and you do not have to raise the gas tank or you could put if off for down the road because it is a lot to take on. Make the spacers out of anything you have laying around. You could use round black iron or a plastic product would be superior, light and never rust. maybe something I will revisit down the road.
