I'd recommend to look at adjustable Rancho shocks. I recently installed Kayaba Monomax and my VX still bumpy.
I'd also recommend to check that your springs are OK and run with full fuel tank (so the rear will be not so easy to jump ).

I've heard about the Rancho shocks as being good replacements for our VXs. HOW do they adjust? Are they somehow wired to a switch inside the passenger cabin? Or do you have to climb under the VX and make adjustments on the shocks themselves?

PHO2GR4 - It can be done either way. The shocks come with a little dial selector with positions from 0 - 9 for firmness. Most owners climb underneath, set them, and forget about them. They also make a remote kit so that you can adjust them from inside the cabin, but I've heard they are difficult to install and trouble-prone.

yep, i went to a local shop specializing in 4x4s to ask about the ranchos and i asked him for a price on the in cabin adjusting kit.. he told me not to bother because their shop had installed about 20 of them and all but 1 came back within a month because of problems leaking (they do quality work, so its not beause of a crappy install)

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for the input (also on the idea for the steel-braided brake lines, in the other thread). I really didn't like the idea of mounting some after-market remote inside the cabin.

I'll stick with the idea of just manually adjusting the shocks, as necessary.
