    Our front end is all stock. When we lift the rear, it kinda adds some height to the front without any adjustment.


    This pic is the day I install the 919 springs on the rear, the front was untouched (stock height) Stock 16" wheels on 255/65 R16. Always adjust the T bars with the front end up, suspension hanging. A little turn does go along way in height. Bounce it a few times in between adjustment.

    I checked the stock height on the other, looks like it is 19". However this is a used vx, others have messed with it. So I wouldn't call this OEM spec.

    My ball-joints aren't flipped. (It's stock).

    But, when I cranked the T-Bars last fall, it only seemed like I could get another 4-5 full turns before it wanted to stop. I thought that would only get me another 1" or so....

    But you guys are talking 3-4" higher than mine. Sound's like I might have needed some thread cleaning to go further?

    Actually, I wouldn't go THAT high. I've considered a 1" lift front/rear. I really want to make sure I don't push the limits of the front CV-joints/boots.

    I'd pick longevity/reliability over lift. So, do I have that 1" w/o issue?
