I took the VX in to my local shop...a great place called Group 2 Motorsports. The installed the Yokohamas onto my new AR Teflon Chamber wheels. While it was up, they also installed the new brake lines, shocks, springs and bushings. The torsion bars needed penetrating oil, heat and hammers before finally turning! We got an even 3" lift all around.
And yes...there was some front cladding removed, due to tire rubbing. Not much, and you cannot notice it at all.
Yes, the VX now LOOKS fantastic...but what really amazes me is the improvement in ride quality. At Setting #1, it isn't bouncy, floaty or mushy at all. It just feels smooooooth and quiet.
I never even considered getting the remote for the Ranchos. Too many people have reported problems...and frankly, it's really easy to reach the switches for the shocks, if I ever need to change the settings. I probably WON'T change them, but who knows?
I haven't heard anything negative about polyurethane bushings, or about their longevity. Still, at $20-$30, it's a cheap replacement, and a drastic improvement!
