    Once the front end is lifted and the tires are off the ground, it is VERY easy to turn those suckers. Great mod!

    I just had to dig this old bird up (and it's cool seeing a post by Tone) .

    I went to crank my torsions last night to gain about 1/2" in the front since my new front flaps are a bit too snug in the well and rub the tire some. Turns out the largest wrench and socket I have is a 24mm. Can someone verify if it is INDEED a 27mm please? I plan on stopping off and picking up the correct size after work today to get this done.

    Oh, and wouldn't ya know it.... I need to replace my floor jack and jack stands while I am at it. End of last summer, some clown(s) decided to raid my garage while I was cutting grass in my backyard on evening. SOMEONE had to have seen somebody running down the street with a floor jack and 4 jack stands.... one would think. Right.... one would think.

    Mine was actually not a 27, the 27 was too loose. A standard fit better than the metric, dont know what size it was off the top. It seems to be that way in different locations on my VX.
