Here is what my order email said. NOT very helpful. I emailed Indy4x to find out.

Plus my order was made 2 years ago. The different size were put into the catalog last year.

I just got a response.

I have the "long" version.

I have not received a response yet from my e-mail to Independent4x. Luckily, they were installed on Friday without any issue. I also have the "Long" installed.

I feel like I went from chopsticks to a broom handle. Those tie rods are HUGE!

Not to TJ here, but this post seemed like the place. I want to order the OME 3 inch springs and bump stops from I4X but I can't find the rear bump stops on their website. Do they have them on the web? Do they carry them at all? Will I need to order them from someone else?
Will the springs give 3 inches of lift in the back or should I get spacers too? I don't want to lift the back more than I will be able to in the front with just torsion bars and no diff-drop. I also don't want to it to ride on the front stops.
Also, should I order the low pro front stops, or just sawzall mine in half?

Ugh, now I know what Todd Adams meant about getting burned out answering these questions - it's constant. Do a search for "VX lift wiki", part numbers and descriptions are included.

I did I did, I promise. I have a shortcut saved directly to the "lift wiki" page for easy use. I spent 2 weeks lurking, searching, and learning before I piped up with this question. But when I go to the I4X site, I can't find the bump stops, even if I search for them by part number. That's why I'm asking if they still carry them, and if not, where else might I get them. I have read tons of lifting posts on here, believe me.

Just do an internet search on either energy suspension or prothane. You ought to be using smaller bumpstops up front and bigger in the rear. I think energy suspensions has low profile and ultra low profile for the fronts. You probably only need low profile for 0"-3" of lift IMHO. The rears you should be able to get away with 9.9104B or 9.9104R which just means either black or red. I am using these in the rear of mine, plus a piece of 2-1/2" square tubing as a n additional spacer. I am at 4-1/2" of lift. So you ought to be fine.

Alright, sorry... The Energy' bump stops were just an improvisional choice I made when I needed to replace my factory bump stops and some other people have followed that lead cuz it is simple. I4x doesn't offer anything for rear bump stops as far as I know. You can find your own bump stops to use though. I jumped a railroad crossing the other day at 50 mph and the extra stiffness of the poly bumpers caused the VX to land/bounce a little funny. And they also have a tendency to "spring back" a little heavy on speed bumps as well. That is the annoying part of using these bumpers. If you can locate some rubber bump stops or lower your factory ones using a fabbed spacer you may be better off. There, that's a better answer for you...
