Title: Calmini Shackle Reverse
Post by: Ranchergirl on April 08, 2007, 05:27:29 PM
Could someone please tell me if the calmini 2" shackle reverse is hard to install.  Do they have pretty good instructions?  Thanks for all you help.

They are prety easy the only problem i had was one of the spring bolts was siezed in the bushing and broke but i eventualy got it out. Spray all bolts with PB blaster a few days before you do the install so everything comes apart easyer. :)

Buddy of mine just installed one. said it was super easy and took like 4 hours total. I warned him about the spring bushing bolt problem but he said his came right off.
Pic, it's the white one.

I havn't Installed one,  but I just scrapped a samurai with one on it and removing it only took me like 2 hr's total,  and it seemed pretty basic,  a lot less complicated than a spring over,  wich only took me like 6hrs start to finish.   :)

the reverse shackle system is the easiest kit to install ever. You just need some penetrating oil and your all set. I actually just installed the 5" lift kit on mine from calmini on the weekend. and all my kit is, is a reverse shackle kit with heavy duty 3" leaf springs. the instructions are really helpful and easy.

if you can tighten a bolt with a wrench you can install the kit.  super easy to do.

Well, it sounds like that kit is out of the question for me and other zukiworld users...
