I'm still really tempted to cut mine in half. Mine also have only about 1/2" clearance and I got the Rancho RS9000XL shocks all around, (set on 5), and it's better but still nasty ride on my rocky/dirt roads. I don't think I'd mind more body roll so maybe I'll go forward with that.

How would it affect off road ride?

I've always been curious why our Fj and 4Runner have like 7-8" of clearance..???? Why would the VX have so little? FJ should be considered in same "category" of off road vehicle as VX, so why the huge difference?
