    Lift it and go have some fun and when you get back home remeasure and see where you are at. Do what you gotta do until you are satisfied. The place I hired to do my alignment knew I just did the lift and told me to bring it back a month later to make sure things were still in tolerance. See if they will work with you in this fashion and if they do you will possibly have a good shop in the future.

    Alright, here is what I did for my VX after lifting it and wanting to keep some anti body roll in the equation. My rear bumpstops desinegrated (sp?) sometime after I bought it and the rubber had disappeared so I came up with this to keep 33's from rubbing away my wheel wells... much less my 32's!

    They are a bit stiff, but should help control 33's when I get them. I confess I am drunk again; but it is Friday and 12:15 am and the party is continuing while people are making fun of me for posting right now... but what the hell! I am proud to belong to this forum. Eat your heart out Mr. Harvey!

    Ok she’s done. Well here is a couple before images.



    Not the best I know.

    Here is a couple after the 912’s



    And Thanks for talking me out of it ZEUS.!!!! Here is the new clearance for the bump stops. Look at all that room..


    Here is what kept me awake after staying out too late last night.


    So here is the final product..


    I will get some better pics tomorrow.

    I measured from the floor to the rear fender well, before was 35 on each side. After was 37.5.

    The front fender well, before was 33.25. Then after 11 turns and the flip was 36.5. I will drive around a little more tomorrow and then re-measure to make sure all is well.

    Thank you to those who threw advice my way, it is greatly appreciated. Billy, thank you for posting the instructions. It was really pretty easy, but it made it that much easier with them.
