from your picture you appper to only have 10" lift. you need to get the spacer. I don't know why you dont have at least 12" that is a 2" lift and for a 3" lift you would have 13". sounds like you have a non lift lift. I'd go to the place it was purchased and ask for my money back. I thought from you pic's that your VX looked a little low for 3". I still need to get bigger tires to fill up my empty space and am not in a hurry till I finish getting the Body lift finished. That will give me plenty of room for the size of tire you are running. I happen to have 265/70/16's right now but could easily go bigger. I just want to wait till It's at the height I am happy with. I have thouhgt about the diff drop like VXorado and I really like the look of his VX. I dont think I want to go as high as his VX is.
