I got the axle under the VX today to get an idea of clearances and bracket locations. I almost immediately ran into a problem...

This axle I picked up a while back came with high steer and 1.5 DOM tube steering links. I figured the high steer was a nice addition that wouldn't be a problem to use. I've seen other SAS Trooper builds use the high steer but for whatever reason, it's not going to work for this build.

Steering link on frame rail.




Now look at the height! With high steer hitting the frame rail, this would be full compression (on bumpstops). It would need a ride height at least 4" higher than the pic.



Obviously, I won't be able to use the high steer if I want to keep the VX low. Also, I took a comparison pic of the tire in original place vs. 3" forward. I like the looks of the tire pushed forward.
