Bought my VX with maybe a lift. How can I tell if it is lifted like with torsion bar front adjustment and rear coils and by how much? What is the normal ground clearance from some points on the frame, etc???

Tire size may be an indicator of whether or not it is lifted.
If your rear coils are any color other than red, (black, for instance) chances are it's lifted.
Also, OME's have a little tag on them that has the model #.
The rear coils are red. The tires are 265/60R18. The front ball joints are mounted underneath the upper control arms. The distance from the ground to the under side of the upper wheel well lip at 12 o'clock is 33.5 inches, the rear distance is 34.25 inches. Does that help?
If the ball joints are on the underside of the upper A arm, it's most likely been lifted at some point.
Check the top of the rear springs to see if there is a spring spacer. (usually red poly)
Your not lifted.......those tires are only 30's. Red springs are stock. If I remember correctly I am 36-38 inches from the ground to 12 o'clock from the spring lift.
Put VX on the flat surface. Look from the front to the front axle and drive shafts. If you have angle between axle and drive shafts - it is lifted/lowered. If it all on the same axis - it is not.Quote:

Drive shafts are level to ground and parallel to front axle so no lift. Thanks.

Well I wanted it to be lifted and was hopping it was. So now I'll have to do it myself because it isn't.
