Cool. If I get a bit of time at work tomorrow I will write it using my full set of VL photos and then move the other posts and input from this thread there and generally tidy it up.

Good stuff. When i do my new front clip with the joggled / over lapped panels i'll ad that method to it.

Unless i make a total cock up of it, in which case none of you will ever hear about it.

Probably not

I have done the biggest possible virtual lift you can while keeping the front clip and my battery is still on the inner wing, I also run a bigger battery than standard, think it's a 064?

right here's pics of my VL, with 100% new inner wings and a raised rear bed to I could run longer shocks.

Pretty much the most you can physically remove while keeping the SJ looking like and SJ in my opinion, good for 33s with no lift and possible 34/35s

I run a 063 in the standard position with the VL method I described no problems.
