[QUOTE=tom4bren;291976]I 'think' they are the same ... but couldn't guarantee that for you. It'd be easy enough to crawl under & check to see if they look alike. They aren't a precision piece so close enough is good enough.

I hope the boneyard is going to pull them for you. It's about a 4 hour job to pull them.

Also, there's about a 25% chance that you'll need to replace one or more of the bushings where they mount to the frame. I had to replace 2 of them whenever I was getting them modified for other members.

Remember that there is a member on the board that sells the modified brackets. Contact Joe Darlington for price & availability. I have an unmodified set if he doesn't have any cores at the moment.

I have no idea if the crossmember is the same between Trooper & VX. You could probably get one from Calmini though if you need one but Joe also sells brackets to drop your crossmember to allow for the diff drop.

Thanks for the info. I have seen Joe's name mentioned in previous posts. Alot of the posts I'm reading are pretty old so I always wonder if people are still doing the same things that they posted about years ago. I have avilability to get these kind of mods done locally. I'm also thinking I might get the upper & lower control arms if they are the same. I've seen that a couple people modified the control arms to get the lift without cranking the torsion bars. I haven't quite decided which route I want to go yet.
