    Can you see the lift like you can on a wrangler. If you put a 3 in on a jeep it looks as if it were floating just above the frame. Is that the case with the vx

    Mebbe this'll help:

    Another thing to consider is that if you do the body lift, you won't be able to have the hitch hidden behind the rear cladding (prolly not important but worth mentioning).

    That's good but it don't show the gap of the body and frame

    Ya know its not about money. I don't care if its worth 100 or 100000 dollars. I want t,o have fun with it. If I had a lambo suv I would still raise it up. Yours could be worth a million bucks and mine worth 1000 but all the memorys I will have with me family is priceless. Money comes and goes but memorys are forever. And anyway, I don't plan on selling mine, its not a investmest

    Damn, we really need to implement a 'thumbs up' button... I would have hit it ten times for that post.

    I personally dont think a $5000 vehicle is worth babying. Have fun with it.

    I have the 3" body lift. I tried running 35" tires with all suspension lift first and decided I wanted to reduce strain on the drive train by adding the BL lift. The BL has been great and I use the VX as my daily driver without any issues.

    You can't see an "air gap" between the frame and body because the awesome VX body/cladding wraps down more than other vehicles. The frame does stick out in a few spots which can be a little unattractive. I used rock sliders to cover up the sides and am still working on making the back pretty.

    In your case, I wouldn't go for a 3" BL because it will be too much for 33" tires. Instead go with a 1" BL and a 2" suspension lift or just keep the 3" suspension lift. The 3" body lift works well for 34"-37" tires.

    I'll snap some better pics today so you can see for yourself.
