I went with the Doetsch shocks (Part #: Front 15.50 x 10.00 M29069, Rear 19.50 x 12.50 M29129) with external gas reservoirs and love them! Derrick at Doetsch recommended standard firm, rather than extra firm, for everyday driving so that is what I bought. The VX ride is much, much more comfortable now. Haven't had it off road yet.
I also had 1 1/2" Daystar polyurethane lift blocks installed. I bought them from Suspension Connection. If you order them, make sure you call them because the part numbers of their web site are wrong. The web site lists 1" and 1 1/2" blocks, however Daystar makes 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" blocks. I ordered the 1" blocks and ended up with 2 1/2" blocks. Suspension Connection fixed the problem immediately (great company to deal with).
I would like to post some pics of my VX, but have not been able to figure out how. Can someone explain how to insert images that are saved as jpgs on my computer?
