Awesome, posts. I cant wait to lift. 1.) I just love the look....2.) Want to really get into some midly serious offroading...(I dont think Ill ever just own sport cars..this is my first 4x4)

Mechatech boots? Where is the best place to get them. I am the kind of guy that likes to give small companies my business rather than a large super store online.

Also,what are drop diff bracket? And what is this SAS??????????? And where do I get some skid plates. I like Ldubs.

I think Ill stick with my 265/75-16's for now? Maybe start saving up for another set right now? I was on a mild budget and got a good deal on them at pep-boys for $108 x3 becuase you get the fourth one free w/mail-in rebate. But you did have to buy their road side hazard package and tire installation.

I cant wait for all of this to come in the mail. And I will for sure take pictures and post them of my pro-comp wheels. I just bought a new dual lens compact Kodak digital camera as well, so Im looking to use it.

I am going to miss the handles of the vx but oh well I want the lift more.

Looks like I will be heading to SEARS with this list
Jack - 6ton? too much? too little?
2 floor stands
What else tools do I need I want to get a brand new ones...

Thanks for the info again.....

Again, in no particular order...

Mecha-tech boot replacement kit, H-D tie rod ends, H-D lower links, etc. available from Independent 4x4.

SAS is solid axle swap, you lose the torsion bars/ IFS & swap in a solid front axle. Doing away with high c-v joint angles.

My skid plate up front came from Tone, email him to see if he still has these available. All the ones underneath came from a 92 Trooper in a salvage yard.
Use search, there's a skid plate thread in the forums somewhere.

Diff drop bracket lowers the mounting position of the front diff., straightening out the c-v joint angles somewhat after lifting. There are lots of peeps around here who know a LOT more about it than I...again, search SAS.

Darlington off road & Independent 4x4 are "small guy" sites that are like a candy store for Isuzu off-road bits.(bring $ome money)
Also, give Stinkyfab a look.
The VX weighs close to 2 tons...a six ton jack is a little over-kill.

There is a list of tools needed in one of those how to articles mentioned earlier.
