VX Lowering Kits

[circmand]

On the other hand, lifting a VX does provide increased performance in terms of ground clearance and allow for installation of larger and more agressive tires. That is - it improves the capabilities that it was designed for.

The extra ground clearance works well for rock climbing or low speed 4 wheelin. It also makes the VX as nimble and well baalanced as a hippo on roller skates. A look at the driver side sun visor will show a warning about the instability of the VX. Raising the center of gravity makes it worse. As for larger more aggresive tires they weigh more tax the little 4L30E tranny and actually decrease performance. So basically jacking it up and slapping big wheels actually decreases performance

Every 4x4 sold since '96 has those.

As for the rest ... we'll have to agree to disagree

I disagree with your repetition.

BTW.... sure wish I caught a picture of the lifted VAN that I saw on I270 yesterday evening. Matte black w/ perhaps a 7"-10" lift and what appeared to be 33" rubber. Had like 10 CB radio antennas. Included, it had a sticker on the back window that said "A Country Boy Can Survive". Just goes to show ya.... anything is possible.

It was a treat seeing that on the Clara Barton Pkwy. Usually it's nothing but Mercs and Beemers at that time, but THAT made my day. A unicorn to be sure.

As much as it hurts me to do this, there is a very easy way to lower the VX, would take less than 30 minutes, pending rust.
Crank the torsion bars down to desired height. You can get the spring compressors at pepboys for like 30 bucks. I lowered my honda civic with those when I was in highschool, drove it that way for 4 years, no problems...and you would have to cut the rear bump stop...
