You're a punk! I decided I wasn't going to modify my suspension on my VX, and was going to be happy with stock. I don't wheel much, I just go camping, and generally am faced with simple dirt roads. I convinced myself I was happy aesthetically with the stock setup (just add some wheels). NOW I'M NOT!!

LOL, I used to think the same thing, and last night, I put my VX up on the 912s as well! I get new meats on Saturday morning, and then I have exactly 1 week to blast off to Moab!

I can hardly contain myself.

(Thanks to CrnCnn and Ascinder for the help lifting yesterday)

Ryan, looks sweet. I just lifted last night, but all I did is the 912s in the rear and the torsion bar crank. I think the bump stops are a good idea. I might have to order a set. I didn't do the ball joint flip, most people say its not that important, but I will get new tires on Saturday and see if they have trouble aligning me...

PS - Come to Moab. Just do it. I'm super serial.

whats the purpose of the different bumpstops? is it for more articulation into the fender?

To LIMIT the amount of up travel in the suspension...bigger tires + more neg. offset = tire contact with the lip/inside of the fender well. ...

Yeah just like LDub said, on the rear the larger Bumpstop helps prevent tire rub from the larger tires and wider offset upon up travel of the wheels, and on the front the lower profile bumpstops increase the amount of down travel. Bumpstops on the rear make contact on up travel, bumpstops on front make contact on down travel.
