ROFL ... I forgetted. So much for me being innovative. Seems to me that the VX has much more rear suspension droop so the jacking wouldn't be needed.
Bump stops were gone on both sides (don't ask 'cause I don't know why). There was only rusted out residue of the mounting brackets.
Even with 3" of lift, it looks like some metallic deformation of the front fender wells to fit 31x10.50's will be required.
