    Might want to PM DarkEngineering. He was tossing around the idea of fab'ing an SAS kit for us (and Troopers). Just a thought.

    EDIT: He was planning on making it a 4-link, coil set-up

    Thanks for the tip! I know Indy 4x has an SAS leaf spring kit available... well a couple of kits. I don't think I would need a kit though. Still, I would rather go about it with a link and coil or airbag method. With leaves you have to mount everything perfectly since you can not adjust things afterward. With links, you can adjust distances. There are some good programs out there you could use to cycle a 3D model suspension based on VX dimensions. You can adjust anti-squat, torque lift, twist and all that good stuff before building anything. Ultimately, designing a suspension similar to the Scorpion MK for the VX is the way I would prefer to go... if I won the lottery! I would have to sell some projects to pull it off otherwise and aquire a new daily driver... nice to dream though...

    Some things to keep in mind...you'll have to do away with ABS (won't be missed off road) or locate the sensor to your new axles. I am also going to do away with my TOD and go with a manual transfer case...possibly twin sticked. As soon as mine is paid off and I can funnel the car pmt. $$$ into the project.
