I can't imagine that the factory suspension parts had them closer than an inch.
    Maybe yours were already cut?

    I've never seen a stock/non lifted VX with more than 3/4" between the stop & the axle pad, with 1/4-1/2" being far more common...

    No I was sayin that before the suspension mods, I can't imagine them being closer than an inch... The bumps aren't cut either. The whole "Figure 8" is there.

    In any event, going from anywhere from 1/2 to 1 1/2" of clearance to 3 or 4" will make a huge difference.

Lol kinda a weird sound to hear from this thing but I have so many dtc codes right now I just sent all my injectors off to get cleaned hopefully it will give me some gas pedal cause right now my Vx bogs down when I give it past half throttle

    I have the flowmaster 40, I love that it sounds like a diesel. One of my favorite mods...of course, I love my Diesel F250 as well. It may sound like a diesel anyway, the 3.5L valve train is very noisy.

    Mine were touching the rear axle without a lift and I sawed them to half height. With my three inch lift I just took them off. We don't need no steenking stops!
