crashes over potholes?

[VX KAT]

Thanks VX KAT. Nice to know I'm not alone on this merry-go-round.

This simple free mod was THE best bang for the buck I've ever done. I think there's at least 4-5 of us now that have done it so far, and I haven't heard ANY negative comments about it. (etlsport, Mile High VX, VT_Maverick and I think there's one more that's done it) They're not that hard to cut either, think VT Mav used a hacksaw. (I actually had my off-road shop do it for me...I'm a wuss)

I don't care if the spring rate and such is changed by doing it....it reduces that slamming SO much it's worth it! And just for back up get some from a junkyard in case you want to return it to stock or you don't like it with the half.

Thanks for the great bump stop circumcision idea. Gonna do it, definitely. However, I'm also thinking of doing something else, and I'll be grateful for input from anyone who has experience with what I'm about to propose.

I want to do a lift kit and go with much bigger tires to fill up the space I'll be creating. Here, my goal is two-fold. First goal is the one I was hoping to get feedback on. And that is, I want my VX to "laugh" at potholes. I'm thinking that with so much tire meat and suspension travel between my VX and the sh*tty roads, I will basically render myself immune from crashing and banging and bumping and thumping my way down the moon-crater afflicted war zones that constitute our so-called 'roads' here in lovely New Jersey.

Is my hypothesis correct? Will this do the trick?

Second goal is to give my vehicle the look that I find awesome in those VX's that I've seen undertake the lift kit process. Again, I'll appreciate feedback and/or direction to threads that have already perhaps covered the subject at hand thoroughly.
