VX Lowering plus wheel track width increase

[Bieredalsace]

I want to lower my '99 Ironman waaay down loooow and push the wheels out to be even with the lower cladding.
I know these are 2 very different mods but since they are meant to go together on my VX I thought I'd ask all at once. Thanks everyone!

Best advice.... get a custom shop to do it. You may be able to get an inch out of it from your garage, but to go any lower than that, you will need some solid fabbing. Most likely looking at losing your transfer case too since that thing will get ripped off on every bump. This is the kind of stuff that made Chip Foose very rich in the first place.

Unfortunately, the VX was never designed with the mindset that it would/could be lowered, so there is little to no room for it (even lifting them takes a bit of brute force as most of the hi-risers here could tell ya). Simply the wrong vehicle, unless you have money to burn and want to tarnish 1 out of 4k gems.

Also "widening" the stance will put your tires into your cladding when you turn!

265s will even the tire face with the cladding....but it's not real drop friendly. You may get an inch or two
