    Don't forget the adjustable upper link, to make your adjustment complete.

    Yeah I have debated that one, but really only one "needs" to be adjustable. I would just get the adjustable upper link but adjusting that one to correct the angle would pull the rear tire even further forward in the wheel well, so I am going with the lower adjustable links and just having the upper link extended by a local welder slightly, like maybe 1/2" - 1" on top and I will have to adjust the bottom at least 2" longer probably.

    This is why we have vibrations after lifting :-)

    Ryan,

    This is good info. Haven't completely read through everything yet, but I did see mention of resetting the pinion angle. I seem to remember someone (or two) having their rear diff "explode" after they reset the angle of the diff to try and help out with some driveline vibration issues (was it Bimati?). I'll have to check, but does resetting the pinion angle on the VX's rear end cause problems in the diff? Do they need to stay at the factory set angle?
