Thanks for the info Scott. I'll be scouring the salvage lots around here. But, if I don't have any luck I'll give them a call.:cool!:

Yea...Thanks ALOT!

Thanks for the great info. As I am a new VX owner.

Welcome Doc! You will find wealth of information and support on this site.

Thanks for the welcome. On another note I have a question about suspension. As I have no one to compare with, is the ride in a VX intended to be ruff/tuck like. Not that I mind since it corners great. I'm only asking to see if there is someting I should be aware of. Also I heard that it's posible to do a 3" lift by just changing the springs. Is this correct and if so does any one know where and what springs would be a good choice. Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.

We can open a new thread on this if we need to but, the VX does have a very stiff ride. The short wheelbase and height doesn't help and the fact that the thing is on a true truck chassis makes for the rough ride. Believe it or not, I think the VX rides better than my Acura Integra. You get more bounce because there is more suspension travel...
As far as lifts, there a few that have done it. You have to weigh the positives and negatives. A change in height does change handling but, it does benefit off-roading.

I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the SEARCH feature on this forum - most questions have already been asked and answered (many were asked by myself!)
