    So I'm a new vx owner and wanting to do a lift on mine. but seeing all the different springs has the question what kind of difference would i see from the ome 912's which come with most lift kits from independent4x.com vs. getting parts separately and going with the 913's or 919's. i'm only going for a little lift. currently have mickey thompson baja stz tires (265/75R16) which give a decent lift. just want a little more suspension travel when offroading.

    Thanks, so after reading, i think i like the 919's, since i want the lift but didn't want the spring spacers. with rancho 9000xl shocks. still debating the hd torsion bars though.

    The 919s give a pretty big lift compared to the 912s. Also, 919 is firmer than 912.

    I'm surprised at your choice of 919's , unless you carry heavy loads.

    You said in an earlier post you only wanted a little lift, and you'll get about 2 inches with the 913's.
    IMO a good match for the tire combo youre thinking of.

    No need to buy lift kits.
    Fit new coils and crank the T bars to lift front to your desired rake/or level.

    Also...IMO you should drive it a bit first before getting HD T bars...
    ...you're not going really high, or loading lots of rubber on the rims like 35's do.

    GLTY..........
