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

    You can not "flip" CV joints. The ball joint flip will do nothing for relieving stress on your CV's. It only makes wheel alignments easier. The only way to relieve the stress on the CV's for a lifted VX is to have some diff drop bracets fab'd up to rlieve the angle of your axle shafts....or just chop all that IFS stuff off and do a SAS!

    OK, so I do not need the heavy duty 919's, since I only drive around with SnowtrooperJR and myself.
    Any one have experience if the Independedt4X 912's are worth the extra dough?

    Best,
    Same springs, Indy4x offers faster service, & better overall support of the Isuzu off-road community.
