I'm still not sold on the lift. As I said above, I love the handling on road as well! Perhaps I can compare the difference in how a lifted VX handling changes when the Reno crew gets here for the 4th.

Well, here's the cool thing. All I did to lift was crank my torsion bars and put the OME 912s in the rear. The OME 912s were 120 bucks for the pair, iirc. So, if you are willing to spend $120 you can easily test out the lift. If you really hate it, you can certainly sell your springs to someone on this forum I am sure.

I have had my lift on now for just over a month, and I do not feel a difference in handling. I still corner at high speeds and turn tight and all of the other great stuff my VX did before. I think the ride is a lot smoother too, especially in the rear. No more slamming. The only REAL difference, is the pick up. With the lift and 265s, Power Drive really helps get my VX going.

Anyway, imho, $120 isn't bad to see if you like it, which I KNOW you will!

My style lift was $50 plus shipping. At less than a tank of gas, how could ou go wrong? It only takes 15-30 minutes to put in, depending on proper prep(spraying the bolts with liquid wrench); tools(jacks, jackstands, big piece of wood, proper socket, and breaker bar); and number of lift experienced people(3 at least in this case). We could literally lift you at the campsite, see how you like it, then leave it or remove it by the end of the trip!

I know this is probably a DUH question.. but... was the Ascinder CV failure because of the lift or age of the CV's. I will research your lift more when I get back from vacation.. In Maine at the moment doing the tourist thing.. Flew
VX is back in arizona baking in 110 degree heat. I will live though.. itsa Dragon

I'm not the expert on this topic, but it seems that lifting puts stress on the CVs making them susceptible to failure.

Experts - does flipping the CVs help in this case? Or am I thinking of something else that gets flipped (ball joints?)?

Yeah, or rocky-road.com, but they took like 3-4 weeks to get me my springs.

It looks like Independent 4X4 wants 170 for the springs....
That's TWO tanks 'O petrol.
Anyone have a cheaper source?
