Awesome write up by the way...how long did it take ya? With pics and info like this, it makes it seem like something I could do, if I ever go bigger than 33s.
It is definitely a difference, but really I would say it only "feels" like an increase of 10-20hp, but it is a nice step up in performance, my speedo is WAY off right now

Back took me 1-2 nights (4-5 hours) each night. With a write up like this or if I had known exactly what I was doing I could've done it in one night easily.

That is the nive thing about the Zu 12 bolt, 9 inchers, and Toy axles. You can just remove and replace the third members.

Marlin...the 478's are ideal for 33ish tires on the VX. And unfortunately are about your only option if running the stock 10 bolt front end. For 36ish tires 538's are probably better...but that would require a solid axle up front.
Yeah but I didn't really find the front that difficult either, it was just the center link ball joint and the lower ball joints that were giving me problems, which if you are careful and know what you are doing you really do not need to remove them. I will write all of this up when I get around to doing the how to for the front, but yes the front is MUCH more complicated, and I will probably have at least 30 photos for that how to thread.

Oh and Independent 4x has sold multiple 5.38 gears for our front end but I am not sure of their availability as of now, I am pretty sure they are sold out as of now, but they are out there somewhere.
