    YEP, mine was lifted by Jay and Dub at The Stoop (the parking lot of the Red Rocks Lodge),


    and MeowMix's was lifted in the same spot last year by Dub and Jo.


    Super easy to do, particularly when you're sitting on The Stoop watching it happen.

    Like VXorado said, the only thing that you need for a lift is either spacers for the stock springs, or taller springs for the rear and then you just crank the torsion bars in the front until you get the stance that you want.

    Also like XVorado said, a completely stock VX is more than capable enough to do many of the trails out in Moab. Just pick the right line, trust your spotter, and all should be well.

    I'll be heading for Moab in my Trooper on Saturday May 12th if you want to convoy. If their schedule permits we will be hooking up with Gill & CeCe coming from Chicago in their VX, somewheres around Des Moines, heading west from there.

    You can go stock and have tons of fun, but an inch or two of extra clearance makes a surprising difference.

    You can absolutely go with a stock VX, just plan for extra fluids, thats the worst thing most forget the first year. Also, know that you will be spending 6-10 hours a day in your vehicle, away from civilization. So, tons of water, and food, cooler, etc.

    There's a few VXers coming from Texas (Austin -VX Crazy, Orion, Jay, and Dallas area -Scott Harness, Dumke, and one from Louisiana -tjh). You'd probably be able to caravan with one of them. I think they're departure dates or routes may be different so they're not all together.
