are those spring spacers used to get extra lift? And if so are they used with the stock, 912's or either? What I'm seeing is I can get from 0" to 5&1/4" of lift... Am I getting that correct?
Oh and thanx TR. This is a life saver. I had been browsing this site and the web for all this info for a while and now its all in one place. U r awesome!
Thanks for the kind words... I needed something for me to have "on file" for reference as I'm starting to order all of the little pieces to build my lift
As for the adjustable spacers, they should work with Stock springs or 912s, but it'd be best (I'd assume) to use them with 912s, otherwise you won't get more suspension travel, you'll just raise the back end of the VX (clearance only)
I ended up going with:
Front:
Torsion Crank... Alot of it...
Ball Joint Flip
Bilstein H2s
Energy Low Profile Bumpstop
Heavy Duty Tie Rods
Energy Sway bar Bushings
Back:
OME 912
Billstein H1
Energy Sway Bar
Energy High Pro Bumpstop (stacked on half of the stock bumpstop)
1" coil urethane Spacer

Edited original post with more links as well.
there are an assortment of steel brake lines on ebay in the stores section
I looked on the Bilstein website and could not find the part number listed above for the front shocks. After phoning and discussing this with them, the front p/n should be B46-1738-H2. As noted above, these are the shocks recommended for the Trooper (B46-1739-H1 for the rear). The sales guy at Bilstein said, "a what?" when I told him it was for a Vehicross. lol
The thread on Diff Drops could be useful as well:

A linky to Joe Darlington is buried within - his run about $300 with the crossmember drops.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
Hi, cwillyrun,
I apologize for being late with this post. I mentioned a few days ago that I would get you the part numbers for the Bilsteins, and it slipped my mind until now. You are correct, both front and rear are "B46". I installed B46-1739-H1's on the rear, and B46-1738 H1's on the front. I believe that the H1's are stiffer than the H2's, and the H1's are still slightly softer than stock, so, if you want to get as close to a stock ride as you can, I would recommend the H1's on both ends.
