none of the aftermarket joints really "work", the ones Billy is using have the smaller "balls" so he says they clunk a little when 4wd is engaged but other than that seem ok, and all the other aftermarket ones seem to break easily. RCV Performance is working on some HD Joints for us and we should know soon if they will be able to do it. You would want to do a front diff drop to help your CV angles, you can do a 2" drop on it and it'll bring the angles down a good bit. You should be able to fit a 33" tire with the 912's no problem, that's what I have. How tall do you want to go? Here is a pic of just an OME 912 lift and adjusted t-bars to match, running stock VX wheels with the same tires as me (size and brand lol)
