For the sidekick, the calmini 3" lift and Boondox 3" are the highest. Keep in mind, under-axle clearance is determined by how tall of a tire you choose. So, figure out what size tire you want to buy, then select your lift from there ;)

I have a 2 door '96 Tracker automatic transmission.  I am planning on running a +/_ 31" tire.  I'm not a rock crawler just want increased ground clearance with good driveability.  I have looked at the Calmini, Rocky-Road & Boondox set ups and just trying to see what customers opinions are.  I have also heard favorable comments concerning OME springs.

If you just want more clearance on taller tires easy and cheap you can get 1-1/2 coil spacers for $100, '91 Ford Crown Vic shocks, flip your strut mounts and run 235-75 or 29"- 30" tires and gain several inches of total lift depending on the tires. 2" front 1.5" rear + taller tire. You could get a total of 3-4".
Boondox.com has a good before and after pic to show you what it will look like. If you want to go 31's -32's you can add a 2" bodylift for about $100 also. SKY, Rocky Road, Boondox all sell various stuff to do this. There are tons of threads on this site explaining things in detail.

Do a search on any of this stuff. 

You may find this to be adequate. Systems with springs and struts and shocks are $800 and are nice but don't lift more than 3" anyway.

Quick question...if ayone knows....

The Spyder 4.5" SPOA kit says that it does not come with shocks or steering correction.  Will the stock shocks and steering work, or will steering correction be needed?  The shocks aren't THAT big of a deal, jsut curious.
