    A little help...LIFT?????

    Littlebeast is planning on lifting his VX. He asked me to help him find my write up. After some searching I found it, however, when I click on the link it takes me to the "How To's" page. But I can not find it anywhere in there.

    I know a few people have hosted the write up on their sites. Sorry I can't remember who. But if you are one of those people could you please forward the site addy to Littlebeast?
    Thanks.

    Still haven't found a how to on the 912s, torsion bars are easy, but I am a little uncertain about the rear. Thanks

    Lift up the rear and slide out the old ones and pop in the new ones. Its easy. I did it withing 30-45 minutes total.

    For me I went the spazz way and put a small block of wood on the jack and lifted it by the gas tank.

    Just be sure to unbold the shocks first. Its truely very easy.

    Remember to use jack stands.

    And always bring a towel. (go watch Southpark)

    Also, pay attention to the orientation of the springs as you remove them, (and put the new springs in the same way) there IS a top & bottom.

    They only go in correctly one way.

    If you would like some help installing in Moab, let me know, I travel with more tools than many gas stations have, including on-board air & air ratchets etc.

    I also have a set of "used less than a year" OME 912's for sale, I told Bart I'd give him first dibs on them, but if he passes, they're up for grabs.

    $100 includes 2 springs & me doing the bulk of the install & T-bar crank.

    Also also, douche the torsion bar adjusters real good with liquid wrench or PB Blaster before you head for Moab if the install is going to be done there. (No matter who is doing it, they'll thank you)
