Sorry to hear you had such a bad accident.Hope you are doing well now.i was wondering is that the Calmini 3'' lift with no body lift?How is the ride on the street for a daily driver?It looks great.Also what size tire are you running?I'm going to purchase a lift in a few days and can't decide between Calmini and Old Man Emu.Any thoughts?
Thanks
