Those size tire have been used by many people for a long time now, but yes, they will place your CV joints under higher stress as well as the steering components. Some people have reported having to replace their CVs more often after lifting, while others have been fine with no troubles at all. Also, you will go slower off the line which kind of sucks.

Man I just put a small block, like the size of VHS tape. so a 1x3 5-6 inches long. Yesterday I didnt even use a block of wood. Saftey wise just make sure your on level ground and I would not worry about anything. I got this lift method from a search where I think SPAZZ did this. Its just quicker and easier. Under the tank you will see 4 or 5 indentions the block of wood was just used to disperse the weight of the VX further than the 4inch disc of the jack. I hope you got a jack large enough.

I ask her this weekend.

whats wrong with lifting from the differential like the manual says to do?

[Ascinder]

If you lift from the differential, the axle moves up when you jack, which compresses the springs which you are trying to take out. You pretty much have to use the gas tank method to do this, and I had to remove the rear shocks when I did mine so the springs and springjacks would fit in there. You may have to have someone push up on the opposite side of the axle that you are installing the spring on so that the axle pivots and lets you get the spring in. Don't forget that the bottom of the spring lines up against the metal nub on the axle.

cool, makes sense, i for some reason thought that the diff would stay in the same place and the wheels would fall like normal

[Ascinder]

In the front, since it is independent suspension, that would be the case, but since the rear is a solid axle, everything is one connected piece.
