MoonRover--- There are basically only two(2) things required when traveling off-road with the VX:
(1). Always engage transfer case in 4W-"LOW" (once leaving highway with VX on dirt surface; and, return back to normal Hi-Range before making contact with solid highway again). By using only 4W-"LOW" off-road will give you the very best all-around traction and will force you to drive at a slower, more methodic pace (very important so you can react to various situations/conditions).
(2). Drive "prudently" by not taking unnecessary risks to keep yourself/passengers and your VX safe at all times; while always picking the "best possible line" on any given trail. Never try to "show boat" off-road-- you will only impress the recovery tow truck driver.
"Lifting" the VX is only required when installing taller tires OVER 32" O.D. A 100% factory stock non-lifted VX is capable of installing 265/75R16 or 275/65R18 (32" O.D.) tires with only minor front trimming and are bolt-on perfect "IF" they are mounted on the stock OEM factory 7" wide wheels. A 32" O.D. tire will give the VX a 1.25" increase in ground clearance over the stock OEM tire (29.5" O.D.).
