Thanks for the detailed post, Zeus. It seems that there are many ways...but no "best" way...to do a simple, minimal VX lift!

I guess I'll just try this:

a) Install (4) Yokohama Geolandars in the 275/70/16 size, on 16x8 AR Teflon Chambers - - This will increase the overall diameter of the tires from 29.5" (stock) to 1.16" (new). Not a HUGE increase, so maybe no bumpstop issues?

b) Install (2) OME 912 rear springs - - This should give me a bit over 2" of lift, correct?
==> NOTE: How does one "secure" the springs to the mounts, as you wrote?

c) Install (4) Rancho RS9000 shocks - - This is the X-factor, since I'm not sure how they'll fit after the OME springs lift!

d) Install longer, steel-braided brake lines.

e) Flip the ball joints, crank the torsion bolts, drive around, crank 'em some more to even them out...

f) Anything else????

I KNOW that some of you have already done this. Any hints-n-tips?
