Yep, I gotz em and lovz em! SPAZZ and I installed them in a weekend... a very long, tiring weekend. The rear is not too bad to work on but the front is a lot of work. We destroyed a front ABS speed sensor in the process by pulling the wires out of the sensor. You have to change the yoke on the front 3rd member so that means you need to replace the oil seal and crush collar which means you need to adjust the preload afterward - guessing does not work. We guessed the first time and the oil seal leaked... so I had to rebuild the front end. I replaced the oil seal correctly before I pulled everything apart again but had to have a pro mechanic set everything up on the 3rd for me. Even he couldn't get the oil seal to seal right after that. So I will have to redo that... again... and then have the preload adjusted... again. Aside from installation issues, losing the LSD in the rear is the only drawback I see. I think it is the best mod you can make to a bigfoot VX with IFS!
