I don't know why I didn't do this mod sooner! I love the way the VX looks lifted, and bigger tires give it just the right touch!

The lift itself was a very easy task, especially for me...I was the supervisor/tool girl!!!! It took my husband 2 hours to lift, add skid plates, and re-seat one of the coil springs.

Here are a few pics before & after the lift!

Just some friendly advice. Check the angle of the CV shafts and maintain the stock rake angle by making sure the front is 1.5 to 2" lower than the rear. You could alternately install the darlington front axle drop kit. This will save stress and wear on the cv's (which have a dealer replacement cost of over $1k per side). I've done a little reasearch on this and you should find it with a "rake angle" search.

Joe is set for another production run any day now but only has a few orders - this is a HIGHLY recommended mod and as stated, can save you a big repair bill. Place your order or deposit now! http://darlington-offroad.com/category.html?UCIDs=1135292

Those Darlington differential lowering brackets look AWSOME! The $189 price tag isn't bad either IMO as I had quite a bit of time in my set I modified from stock... NICE! My only problem would have been with only 1.5" of drop, they wouldn't have given me enough space for my LS1 to clear... I would have had to REALLY modify my oil pan if no go to a dry sump system! Anyway... nice product!

SPAZZ, we will have to get in touch with you. We both work Sun-Tues. off and on Wed. nights, but other than that we are usually around............just remember, mine is a daily driver so I can't beat it up to much(from the pics I see what kind of stuff you drive over!!) Our friend is going to lift his Trooper as well and he would love to come.
