    LOL, and it should work with other Zu's, the distance between torsion bars should be about the same on Rodeo, Trooper, VX etc, especially considering that RS you got is the same chassis as your VX.

    I have heard all this time that it is the same, but it isn't. the wheel base is 17" longer, it has the narrow stance upper control arms, not sure about the rear lower links. I know its close enought the same, and I have no problems drilling holes in stuff to make it work. I will see when mine gets delivered. Then order another one if its doable. Yippee!!! Another project (enter sarcasm here)

    Um, according to the specs available online, the Isuzu Trooper RS has a wheelbase of 91.7" and the VX shows 91.8, 17" longer would be the standard Trooper at 108.7. The wide/narrow stance won't effect the placement of the torsion bars and even with/without those, it would still be considered the same "chassis". The distance between bars is the same on the trooper, VX, Rodeo and haven't checked an Amigo but will assume it is the same too seeing as the front 10-bolt's will interchange between vehicles. The wheelbase info comes from a few different car websites including edmunds as well as wikipedia and people who have documented it online. When you pick it up grab a measuring tape for us.

    Damn KBB specs. I went to the trooper RS specs and it says wheel base 108.7". Thats what I get. I too would assume the frame rails are the same distance apart.
