You should be fine with the T bar crank at about 3". The ball joint flip is a good idea to help out with alignment but not absolutely necessary. The diff drop is a crap shoot. Some get away without it ... some don't (don't know why). You'll know pretty quick after lifting by keeping an eye on your CV boots. I can help you out with the diff drops when you decide.
Grats.

haha I honestly didn't care about the color, I "liked" all the colors as long as it was a VX. My favorite color is this:
But they didn't make any with that colorI do think a VX would look awesome painted that orange with rhinolined cladding though. And thanks Tom, I'll let you know when it comes to the diff drops. I WILL end up with them, just wasn't sure if anyone had issues running without them on the street (any binding or what not) after a lift. They will go on before I really test it offroad though.

Actually, there's been at least 2 painted burnt orange (not as bright as this)...and I think one Rhino-lined the claddingCan't recall the 2nd one...
Here's a pic:

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

Ya but they didn't come that way darnit lol. I think I may do this as the clear coat is messed up on it. Take it down to my old shop and do it. That one looks pretty good, looked at the rest of the gallery. Here are a few more shots of the color in question (sunset orange metallic):
On another note, has anyone actually swapped t-cases on these trucks? I would think any 4L30E tcase from 98+ should swap in place of the TOD case or am I mistaken? I would think with that t-case, some manual hubs up front would allow full 2wd around town and you could get the lower gear sets. I've seen alot of questions but no one really seems to have an answer unless I missed it

Is always a good choice...was a special order color for the Viper.

Ya I'm calling my friend Rodney who owns the shop I used to work for back in Florida and gonna see if we can do it on a weekend or something here soon. I think it will look pretty sweet lol. How hard is it to line-x or rhino-line our cladding?
Super VXer
Mmmmmmm, Sunset Orange Metallic!That came out the year after I bought my Navy Blue Metallic 1999 Firebird... I was very envious and so tempted to trade! I have no doubt it would look incredible on a VX.
(Great, now I got drool all over my keyboard.)

hehe I think it'll be amazing! I wanted to paint my 87' Iroc that color after I did an LS1/T56 swap into it but never got around to it before I sold the car.
