    I have thought about lifting my VX, but the only reason I would like to do it is for extra clearance...

    As far as looks go, I am still 100% satisfied with my VX...I just need some clear side markers!!

    Put a 6" SkyJacker on there. Can you imagine how much black paint you would get to use if you put 24" rims on there? Sounds like a dream come true.

    Nite-shade your clear markers. I have an order for three cans on the way. Plan to shade all markers and tail lights.

    Yeah, I am thinking of just spraying mine straight black. I want to get an extra set though just in case...

    Strange, is there that much difference between an 60 series and 70 series. I mounted 185 60 18s Toyo AT's and only had to trim the front lip of the cladding. And it looks goooooooooooooood!

    P.S. no lift

    Yep. It has alot to do with wheel size/diameter, spacers, and the profile (60/70/75 etc) of the tire (which is proportionately affected by the rim diameter).....if you can tell from my avatar, my 265/70/17 lifted the VX higher than I have seen others....even sitting beside another VX with a 3" lift, mine looks like about 5"....I like it, but it's a pain in the arse for rubbage, and I wouldn't recommend it for others.....

    I have noticed how high yours looks, and I dont understand. I put 912's on it, like I think you have plus I have 265/75/16 = 31.65 and your set up 265/70/17 = 31.61....equalling mine with a VERY slight hieght advantage and it still seems lower than yours.

    $700 per side!?!?!?!?!?!

    That's almost the cost of a solid axle swap.

    Wish I would have known that before I bought them....I'm a four wheeling greenie, so I didn't know I had any options.
