You don't need no stinkin pictures...just do it.
Seriously, its really easy to. If you have any problems let me know and I will try and round up some pics if you need them.

Billy,

Seriously, I could burn down a house simply by turning on a light switch. In other words, I'm pretty mechanically retarded (and I mean that in the most endearing of ways...) I have no idea what a 'spindle' or 'ball joint' are, and have never used a torque wrench.... LOL.....

All I know is I have these springs now and am compelled to put them on myself.

Pictures would really help. Plus I'd appreciate it x1000.

Thanks, man!

I wonder why someone may want to do ball joint flip? I also missed that photos, so I cannot understand what is that from the practical point of view? Does it add some clearance, reduce driveshaft angle, or what?

Uncle Asa, its more of a 'relocation' than a 'flip'. It relocates the upper BJ mount to the underside of the upper A-arm.
Like Ldub said, makes it easier to align.

ahh biju i cant let it happen...you cant get the lift before me....darn the poor college life =(....had to have the better sound system, now you gotta have the lift first huh? =)

[tbigity]

billy, i know you are prolly sick of this, esp since this thread got bumped...but I am kicking around this idea and havent decided this or the calmini. Most here seem to be biased to the BJ flip as opposed to paying too much for the calminis.

In any event, pics? please? (you're sick of gettin asked bout it, arent ya?)

also, spazz...any ideas on where to get the 919s?

...any ideas on where to get the 919s?

919's are in stock & ready to ship at Independent 4X, I just installed a set yesterday on my wheelin bud's Trooper.(see pic in Moab convoy thread)
Matt got em' to me fast!

[tbigity]

many thanks

[E-ZooZoo One]

Matt got em' to me fast!

I'll bet that he got my 912s to me even faster... since all he had to do was pull them off the shelf at his shop and hand them to me


Upon getting our VX, I know that I said it would be at least 3 years before I would mod it -- but (A) the rear springs are shot, and (B) the VehiCROSS is now paid off... 2 years ahead of schedule!


If all goes as planned, in a couple of weeks (or so) there should be another lifted VX running around!




BTW:
I'm having the same Red X problem with Triathlete's photos that others have reported...
And kpaske's Link results in: "The page cannot be displayed"

Good thing I've already got some Isuzu Lifting Experience under my belt
