    Arrow Need help for Lift?

    hey every 1, i want to lift my VX but enough for rally, not for mudding or rock crawling, lol. but enough for rally so i can put some 31-32x10.0 inch tires for more meat on the road or dirt. but i need to know what do i need for that? like what are the springs i can get for it? where do i get them? price for both? where is the bolt to lift the torson bars, and like how much would it all cost me, just the lift. what do u guys think? how much should I lift? and are the stock shocks good enough for offroad/ rally or should i go for more heavy duty shocks? Thank You guys, u all are the best.

    912 Old Man Emu Springs $65ish a piece @ Rocky Road Outfitters.

    That is simply all you need, stock shocks are great.

    Torsion bar bolts are right below the B-pillar underneath near the frame of the VX.


    That is simply what I have done to my VX.

    Trust me I have NEVER worked on a 4x4 before, and this only took me about 30 minutes to do. Just liquid wrench the torsion bolts the day before, for easier cranking.

    A how-to can be seen here.

    Oh by the way I put the springs in by putting a block of wood on a jack and lifting the VX by the gas tank, just make sure to unbolt the shocks to make it easier.

    so this adjuster is located at like past the middle of the VX more to like the rear? if so, how can that lift it, if it's more to the rear?
