Sorry Guys,
I've got the bad feeling also. I'm the one who posted the pictures. The group on the top are when they were on the '93 trooper. I was just glad that they all bolted up to the VX. I should have gotten a better angle on the picture of them installed pm the VX. I didn't notice the decrease in clearance until now that you mention it.
My wife will be spanking me later if it's any consolation.
I promise to make it up.
John
