    Both 7" & 5" lift looks great, VXorado!

    But I gotta ask... how tall are you?!? I "lifted" my VX 1.5" by adding bigger tires and I can *just* get in comfortably. When I read 5" & 7" lift, I immediately pictured myself climbing in head first & crawling across the driver's seat until I could upright myself. A dopey image, but it made me laugh!

    Can I ask what brand/model lights you have in the rectangular slots by the front plate? The big ones are Hellas, right?
    The big lights are hella 500 & the little ones are cheapo autozone lights that fit nicely & work surprisingly well.

    Looks great in the end shot, looks just right. Rick, he's a frickin' giant (well, compared to you and me ).... in Moab in 2009 my flag pole on my Yakima BASKETwas sagging, and the metal connector kept coming unthreaded....I ask Jon for some help, after trying to jump up at it to fix it...since it's about 9" above the roofline....Jon walks over and tightens it all up, and it was basically at his arm level! Sure appreciated his height that day!

    Tall people make me so jealous! But it does keep me grounded in reality - I'm just so enormously, gigantically tall for my family I keep wondering if I'm adopted. But, the averages indicate "probably not!"
