Lift options

[Rooster]

I'm looking to lift the VX about 2-3". Who makes VX lifts? Or will Amigo/Rodeo lifts work? I'd rather go real coil than budget boost.

BTW, I own a '97 Wrangler, and you cant walk into a offroad store with out tripping over a lift for one of those...

If you want body lift, then adapt the late model trooper BL kit. The pucks and bolts will fit IIRC.

Not sure about suspension.

Daystars in the back, TB crank in front... You'll need new shocks.

Lots of info using the SEARCH function. This has been discussed many times before.

The cheapest lift is using OME912 springs in the rear from either of these guys.

Both are great to work with and very much into supporting the Isuzu community.

The springs will give you 2" - 2 1/2" of lift (more with a spacer.) Then you need to crank the front torision bars up to match. Re-align the front end and you are good to go.

There are many other options such as ball-joint flips to help with alignment if needed, front axle drop brackets to help with CV angles, etc.

For a mild lift (2-3") you DON't need to change the shocks unless you want more droop when flexing.

Thanks Jay, I did search, but I'm not used to this forums format yet.

Thanks for the info

Here is a how to (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1816&highlight=lift+ball+joint+flip) for the most commonly used VX lift.
The only other option is the Calmini kit that Spazz has...if it is still available. It contained a lot of parts that most felt were not needed.
