Big lifting for the VX

[wrestler11]

Is there any option to lift the VX higher than 3"? I am getting ready to buy one and all I have found is this kit from DOR products. Also, is this all I would need if I decided to go with this one or is there anything else I would need to get/do to make it work? Please help!!

Use the search...there is plenty of info posted on this board about lifts. In a nut shell unless you op for the custom fab route (SAS) you are stuck with 3 inches. Two ways are the OME prings or the Calmini set up. The CVs can't handle much more than 3 inches of lift and the axles can't handle much more than 33 inch tires if you use it off road.

OME 912's and a 3" body lift will get you ~ 6". The body lift isn't hard at all except when it comes to the rear bumper.

What is involved in the body lift? I imagine that you disconnect the body from the frame and insert spacers of some sort. Is that it in a nutshell?

Where do you get the body lift from?

I think the hard part about the rear is you have to refab mounts for your rear bumper or something?

Independent 4X is where I got my lift from. Best to call and ask for Matt. It's actually a Trooper kit so with a little common sense you will figure out which parts can be drilled/welded to work on a VX. I will be posting some pictures of what I did to mine this weekend for another member. What I did was cut off the last cross member on the rear of the frame and re-welded it to the top of the frame rails just under the body.
