    You can make your own if you're willing to eat the downtime on your VX. They are pretty straightforward. IIRC there are a couple of people on this forum that have offered them in the past. Try searching.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I could search, but then I would be doing this forum a disservice by not providing content.


    What exactly does IIRC mean?

    I forgot to mention the cross member. There are multiple options to fix this.

    Anyway, the drop in and of itself is very simple, some cutting and welding of the brackets. That is it. But the cuts and welds have to be done in a specific way to prevent steering linkage rub and control arm problems. The install can be difficult for someone who is not mechanically savvy.

    How much for a set of drop brackets?
