    I was thinking of buying these:

    and cranking the torsions just enough until level. I'd rather not have to go into modding/welding the front end if at all possible.
    I purchased said springs, They lifted my VX 2.25" . I doubled checked my order and the box that the springs came in they all have 1.5" written on them.

    I cranked the torsion bars so that the VX has the same factory stance, rather than leveling it out. I have not had any cv issues yet. When first lifted
    during deceleration from highway speeds The VX did have a vibration up front, but that went away after about 6,months .

    My VX has been lifted for about 3 years . It's also my DD.
