How do I do that?

if you wanted to get more of an 'offroad' look then you could buy the OME springs for the rear...and then all you have to do is crank the torsion bars up front...
if your trying to keep the 'stock' look then you need to have it adjusted back to stock...
its just a cheap, easy way to make your VX look much more aggressive....
search for lift or something along those lines and you will see tons of threads and walkthrough's on how to do it...

I think I got the problem solved.
I took the VX in to the shop to have them lower the torsion bar, do an alignment, and balance the tires.
My results.....
VX looks much better now that it is level and not constantly looking like it is going up hill.
I have almost a 1/2 inch gap now under the bump stops.
No rubbing from tires after a minor grinding of hidden cladding corner.
While aligning, they discovered the front wheels were "Pigeon toed" (Left tire going to the left, right tire going to the right) when the wheel was straight. When they tried to fix that, they were unable to loosen the jam nut on the tie rod because it was rusted together. I watched him try EVERYTHING to get it loose. So they order the parts ($350 plus labor on top of other alignment and torsion bar fixes) and should be fixed today.
I have owned the VX for about 48 hours and have already had to spend about $500 and it looks like I may have to have a mode selector switch put in. I hope this isn't an indication of my future expenses.

DUDE!!! You may want to cancel that order! Look at these HD tie rods if you are going to have to replace your originals - especially for that kind of money! https://id211.chi.us.securedata.net/...products_id=57

Agreed! So... with that money you were able to save, donating $20 to the site makes good sense, yeah?
