big meat vx...

[Ldub]

I just saw him browsing the forums this morning.

I think he has pretty much gone into lurking mode!

[BBVX]

If he is in lurk mode, maybe he'll read this and send me back the $60 I sent him for his "extra" set of front diff brackets. The check was cashed and then, presto... no more Big Meat VX.
It was only $60, but still really annoying!

yea i looked on his profile to see if he was still active and it said he was on yesterday...basically i was gonna ask him if he had done an SAS to get 36 inch tires under the VX...and if so, how much it cost him and how hard it was...

[Triathlete]

He does not have an SAS. If you search you will find the info on his lift. A lot of it was custom.
As far as a price on an SAS it will depend on a lot of things. Leaf sprung or links? If links ...air shocks, coil overs, coils and shocks? What kind of axle you use. How well built the axle is built up. How much of the work you can do yourself. Can you weld? Lots of variables!

cool thanks for the info...ill look into it, because i think the VX looks great with that size tires..well if i can get that type of a lift without doing an SAS im down haha =)

ok guys i think i did my research....heres what i have come up with after reading bigmeat's information...these are the parts needed...please correct me if im wrong...
bump stop change off 89 trooper for rear
front axle drop
4" jeep springs with 1" spacer
change tie rods
sway bar disconnects
different upper A-arms
remove upper bump stop
trim lower bumpstop 1/2 inch
upper ball joint flip with 3/4 inch spacer
spacer on lower ball joint flip 1/2 inch
Replace outer front cross-member bolts (2) with lower profile Hex head units (to clear lower A-arm)
add another rubber bushing UNDER the top shock mount (1/2")
longer shocks

alright, thats what i came up with...seems like some custom work, but not a lot of money...sorry about all the trouble guys...but oh well it will give you something to talk about and do at work =)
im curious about doing this for myself but it depends on how obtainable it is considering i cant do all that custom work myself because i dont have the tools or the know how....but im sure i can talk to predator offroad and they could help me out..
