Aye.

I called Steve at Calmini and he said that it was still being tested and the design isnt final yet.

But saying all that, he also said that it would probably be released in the fall (late September - earily October)

Let them do the proper field testing, and work out any bugs before release.

I'm sure everyone will feel better that the kit they will dump a bunch of money on will be thoroughly tested by CALMINI before release to enure it works great.

Fredo


I'd say around 4-5 inches. With the 3" body lift I could easily fit a 35 inch tire with the traditional front fender trim. Right now, I'm running MT/R 33x12.5x15 on an 8" wide 2 inch backspaced wheel and without fender trimming I have the slightest rub when compressed and turned.

Yes, it's a Calmini Solid Axel conversion for the Kicks :o It's in the testing stage right now, but Eric showed up at the Zukimelt with a prototype and everyone has gone mental over it ;)
