    Totally agree. Try the search function at the top of the main page, you can find A LOT of info that way and if you don't find it there please feel free to ask :-) Here is my write up for my lift project. It is super easy, springs (I got 912's, 919's are just a slight taller and stiffer) and torsion bar crank, then get a lifetime alignment at firestone so you can mess with it later and never have to pay for an alignment again.

    Last VX I had I did the Calmini lift. Whats the price for just doing springs and bumpstops alone and where to order. With the 919's how much lift are they?
    I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus mashed potatoes and gravy!

    Yeah the calmini has stuff you don't need and you are overpaying WAY too much with that kit for stuff you don't need. Springs are normally $150 I believe that is all you really need.
