Darlington OffRoad & Tone both sell the modified brackets & I'll still get them modified for anyone interested for $200 including the crossmember drop brackets.

My issue is cost Tom. I really want this done but cannot afford Tones price and I'm sure Darlingtons either. Not that the price is horrible I just have a hard time spending that kind of mula when I know, working with Beau, I can get it done myself cheaper. Beau posted that the 97'-2002 troopers(4 door) with TOD work. Jolly Roger got some diff drop brackets from Paddoku that look nice but I cannot read the website and I didnt ask how much paid but its another option.
I am not trying to play down Tone, you or darlington. I am just listing thoughts for those who cannot afford it.

$200 for diff drop brackets?Originally Posted by CrnCnn
How is that expensive?
Super VXer
Its expensive when i only 20 dollars in my bank account.
It really isnt that bad.
All I'm sayin is that for some effort on my part and whatever this guy at work might charge I can possibly save.
If not, I will be happy to spend the mula when I get it.
I didnt know that Tom was doin his deal when I posted on this. I guess thats what I get for not reading every post anymore. Also, last I had read was that Darlington did not sell them anymore.
Really, I am not trying to make a stink about it. Just posted some thoughts.

Hey, thinking "outside the box" is good. That's how the VX was dreampt up in the first place.
You could always rotate the mounting holes for the axle housing to cut down a little on the U-joint angle increase from the drop. I chose not to since I didn't want to screw up the phase.
You could possibly make spacers to go between the brackets & the frame instead of modifying the brackets. I never liked spacers tho so I didn't go that route.
You could slot all of the holes to make the drop adjustable. I was SCEEERED to try that so didn't.
All kinds of possibilities when you think outside the box.

BTW, the only way I've ever been in contact with Joe Darlington is by email:
darlington-offroad@nc.rr.com
His website kinda didn't work for me - never fully loaded & didn't have any procuct info - just links:
www.darlington-offroad.com

An FYI...
Darlington-offroad.com is no longer anything to do with Darlington Offroad, it appears as though it was poached by bastards who wait for domains to expire, then they buy them, and use them for their own personal advertising, so by clicking the links, they get a small commission (pennies) but enough people do it to make it worth it to them.
If you're going to work with Darlington I'd email Joe.
Just trying to look out for everyone.
