Well all, I wrote an article for Zukiworld.

It is on the front page.  Scroll down to the middle and click on From Topeka Ks.  

It's the Calmini 2" lift article.   ;D

Have a look.

I have been very excited about it ever since Eric asked me to write it.

I was waiting for the monthly update on the articles and see that it finally came. I liked your step to step layout and details as to the work performed. Simple to the point and detail in pics is great. Only gripe............., the pics when linked are quite huge. Don't bother me to much, as the detail is there for sure.

They're good pics. I didn't realise the 2" kit came with axle drop brackets. Does it reuse the stock centre mount? The brackets look to be shorter than the brackets that come with the 3" kit, how much do you think it lowers the axle by?

Rhinoman,

I believe the brackets are shorter than the 3" lift.

If you look at one of the pics in the article it shows the center mount.  You reuse the upper bushing and replace the lower bushing with a thinner one that is supplied.  There is a metal sleeve in the middle of the bushing stack that needs to be cut down.  I cut mine off about 1/4 of an inch (6.35mm).

I am not sure how much it lowered the axle.  A guess would be 1 1/2 inches (38.1 mm).
