Body Lift Installation

Nice - great directions. I need to do this in order to get bigger tires under my green dragon. Do you have any perspective/feedback on this type of body lift Vs a torsion bar adjustment and new rear coil springs? Can/should it be done with torsion bar/springs changes?

If you're going 35" tires or bigger, you'll find the suspension lift maxes out the IFS in order to get enough lift to fit the tires. You can run it this way and I know several VXers who have for years. I opted for 3" body lift + 2" suspension lift to get the ride height I wanted, but still leaving some down droop in the IFS. It worked well for years, until I went to 37" tires and SAS. If you're planning on running tires smaller than 35", I would just put a suspension lift on your VX.
