For most all components to build your own lift start Here:

I've searched the forums best I could to get the following information. If you have an addition, please post your part, part number, and details regarding the part, and I'll add it to the original list.

Bilstein Shocks
Front - B46-1738-H2 (H1 option for more stiffness)
Rear - B46-1739-H1
FROM VEHIGAZ
"I installed these on my VX (H1's in front) a couple years back, and while they are an excellent choice for the VX with a very close-to-stock ride, the rears are probably stiffer than they need to be, and a softer one might be appropriate for the VX. After all, these Bilstein models are actually the ones they recommend for the Trooper (they don't have a recommendation for the VX), and the longer Trooper probably carries more weight on the rear axle, requiring a stiffer shock to counteract the additional inertia."
I ended up going with the Bilstein shocks, and I'm very happy*with my choice. H2s up front and H1s in the rear. I keep a heavy tool box in the rear, and from the front the rear shocks feel great. My rear seat passengers would argue that though... but I don't think anything will feel good to someone sitting directly over the rear axle.
